        Ook. I had forgotten the part about saving in CC. It would
be convenient if they all had saves or they all had a 6+ armor though.
It makes them much easier to remember stats on. (I think your current
proposal has all 6+ armor, so it fits in with one of the two models I
prefer)
        4+ and a save vs. 6+ and no save does pose some interesting
situations. The 4+ and save is more vulnerable to FP attacks, but
less vulnerable to Death rays and Anti-tank. It seems appropriate
somehow.
