Flag:	ProneDamage
File(s):	rules(md).ini
Values:	Percentages: Either a direct percentage (e.g. "50%"), or a floating point value (e.g. "0.5").
Default:	100%
Applicable to:	Warheads / General

This flag defines a multiplier to damage all infantry units receive from this warhead while prone. It is a direct multiplier to Damage applied before the Verses has been calculated.

This is a global setting (in [General]) in Red Alert, and a warhead property in Tiberian Sun to Yuri's Revenge.

Curiously, this flag is also used when calculating damage against jumpjet infantry with Fearless=yes while the infantry is in the air.
