    I’m driving myself crazy trying to find this in the rules: what effect (other than having to pass on Order test) do Pin markers have on indirect fire units (spotters and/or the weapon firing); are there any negative “To Hit” modifiers?

    Right, pin markers have no effect on To Hit modifiers for indirect fire.

    In the INDIRECT FIRE section of the rulebook.

    “When firing HE shells using indirect fire, a 6 is required to hit, regardless of any modifier.”  Then 5+, 4+ or until you get a hit and are then “ranged in”.

    Other than that, as you said, they do affect order tests.
