        My vote, as a Chaos player, would be that the FP 1 is superseded by the
SHW, since they are considered to have a FP of 1 in any situation where the
SHW effect in question can't be used (CC, FF, etc.).

        Any other opinions? Allen-the-Q&A-guy?

        I sure wish Chaos could upgrade. A Silver Tower with a Death Ray would
almost be useful, if it somehow caught a good tail wind...
