Most infantry that don't get saves now, would not get saves with the
improved, tougher infantry saves. So only a little more dice rolling.

The other thing increased saves would do is make armored infantry like
Terminators, Dark Reapers, Exarchs, Nobs, Space Marines Tacticals,
etc...harder to kill with infantry weapons. That's the REAL change.
I see it as a good thing. These units have some armor, armor should
count for something. Infantry should have a little harder time against
them. Tanks vs. infantry would stay about the same, except for
Termanators and thier equal, faring a little better than they do now vs.
armor.
