  Those numbers should be 1-3: death no save, 4-5: push, 6: success.
I could see anything else being a real pain in the patoot!

I believe that to compensate for the lower likelihood of success, perhaps the
results of push or success should result in the parent detachment removing d6
BMs (a one time benefit, so you can't have multiple heroes resulting in d6+xBM
removals), instead of d6-1BMs, to represent the inspirational effect of the
action. Obviously, if the Hero dies, no one is inspired. 'There goes the
Captain! Wow, look at him go! C'mon, first company, on your...' SPLAT!
'Never mind, first company, back in the mud!'
