A. No change to infatry except to perhaps make it harder for anit-armour
weapons to hit them. Infantry are soft. Infantry die in droves. Lets leave
them as they are.

Definately A. They need a change. Either make them tougher once shields are
down or make shields tougher to take out. The better regen is a great idea as
is the saves-for-shields idea. Increasing saves on the Titans is O.K. too I
guess.

B. I agree with Peter's proposal. Change only the way Tanks fight in
Hand-to-hand. It could simply be that each vehicle has two CAF values listed
(separate with a slash). The first is when they charge, the second when they
get charged. Simple.

I also think we need to vote on what to do about the Flyers and their phase.
