A bigger factor in my mind has always been that tactical marines wear
power armor and scout marines don't. I think the scouts should only have
a CAF of +1. This would allow their genetic enhancement to put
them above normal mean in CC, but keep them below marines in power
armor. Armour doesn't give marines any kind of save, shouldn't it
be good for *something*?
As for the second half of the quoted paragraph, I think that all GW
employees should be forced to chant the following mantra:
"Fixing mistakes solves problems;
Leaving mistakes creates problems."
until it sinks in.
