crazy. I'd much rather they just gave assaulting

normal move in the assault, for the old twice normal
move with a chance to be shot in between. But they
get a move, plus the charge move.

Someone else thought they were fragile without the
holosave. Maybe that's just 5+ instead of 6+ save.

For that unit, or for all units?
