Seems very good. However what about saying that units with fixed saves
get both the 4+ modifiable bail and their save? Seems a bit more realistic
(I know, bad word ;) this way, and I don't think it would slow down the
game. Another tought: maybe template weapons should hit the infantry while
it jums out the vehicle. This will cover the Vortex too...

he won't be able to counter-act poperly.
