Talking about it...

IMO, _all_ flyers shold be Special cards.

Anyone coming into Net Epic from old Epic would be lost on a
fundamental level, instead of just the rules-level now.

Trader. The basic squad (one stand in Net Epic) couldn't get a medic -
 they had some heavy weapons choices, a sargeant option and that's
about it. A Headquarters squad had an officer, a chaplain, a few
soldiers and a medic option. And medics weren't all that effective -
they could save one dude in a turn - and one dude is *nothing* on the
Net Epic battlefield. I figure the reason Marine Commander stands
have better armor save is the presence of a medic, and we should get
rid of the medic unit completely. However, it's here and here to
stay. And I ramble - back to my point.

healer roll, no matter how many medics are around. Likewise with a
techmarine - support away! The chaplain should probably stay a
special card, except for some armies where there are *lots* of
fanatics (like Blood Angels).
