Hi!

Very good points. Although I am of two minds with this issue. I slightly
tend towards combining them. Those who field tech-guard can use them as is
anyway regardless if they are a separate list of not. Nothing really
changes. The stats are the same, the organization remains the same. It just
takes up less space.
