Yi! (Well, at least I can use this as a model, being the local IG
player. Maybe.)

Copy that. It's nice to see a little customizability, but man, I don't
want to have to put together armies like this. Maybe generate some
units that I like (that will probably look a heckuva lot like the
current company cards) and just reuse them (hopefully point values will
come out to multiples of 25 or 50 for convenience's sake.)

BTW--I thought it was 25 cm, unless they decided to hose the IG chain of
command even more.
