the 4+ repair is quite fair, though they are high tech they still can't turn
a wrench any fast then others. Plus in my eyes high tech stuff takes longer
to fix then low tech.

the King I've tested it at 2350 last nite with the lowered save and to me it
seemed quite strong. I would say 2350-2400 for this would limit it to the
size of the game only seeing it in 4-5000pt game, for the Slann would only
truly ever bring out the King in the most desprate attemp to defeat there
enemies.

sheilds for that turn you may still fire weapons, have won 2 times like
this. With the Titan only badly wounded NOT DEAD.
