Hi!
I think we should leave the army structure and cards as they are.
However, if anyone wants to make special SM chapters with lots of healers or techies, I think the idea of making them supportcards is very good! (Just make sure there are some drawbacks aswell!)
On a side-note I just want to say it is wonderful that such ideas comes up in the group. Even if it dont get aproval, it makes us think twice about the rules. Thats a good thing!
