I like the idea of broken units not being able to hold the objective. It
makes sense and means that a broken unit can't tip the balance of the game
by holding it when the turn is over.

I don't think there is much of a problem the way it stands, but from the
tid-bits that Rumour Control has been giving us I think this part of the
topic is best left until we get a look at the new rules.

I like this idea, but I also agree with the point made earlier about the
different types of Superheavies that shouls be defined. A Collosus, sure,
I'd be more frightened of that than, say, a Skullhamma. There needs to be
real distinction here.

This makes sense. Sorry to those of you who don't like it, I do. Some
troop's nerve breaks as the enemy charges in and their fire is not effective
or they simply are too scared to shoot. I think there is a need for some
kind of test, especially if the firing unit is out-numbered by the attackers.
