Here is another ability:I thought of this as an additional ability
for things that are better than your aveage troop. Mainly it kinda
solves the problem of dark reapers and Thunderes.

(Again, page 35) Good Shots

Troops who are good shots are either very good at hitting their
target, being equiped with targeters or either weapons that spray so
much fire that some of it has to hit!
Troops with this ability consider a target 1 collum to the left when
firing at it. If a detachment containst troops with this ability and
troops without it roll the dice seperatly, however total firepower is
considered for blast markers.

Upgrades for varius units:
For edldar aspect warriers, wherevver they can get Heavy Weapons:
Add:
+12 Heavy Weapons, Good Shots (*)
* Pick only one upgrade

For Squats, where they can get heavy weapons:
add:
+12 Heavy Weapons, Good Shots (*)
* Pick only one upgrade

For Gretchen:
(free) Good Shots.
