This is the current rev. that I will be playtesing tonight. Perhaps
we'll do a battle report too. Thanks to all who contributed, especially
Mark Shieh, Elias Tiliakos, and Stephen Sheldon.

----------------------------------------------------------
Latest Rationale:
I decided to go with the 5+ and Save for the Heavys and Baron since it
gives you the same survival rate against general FP (5 in 6) but
increases your survival against AT by a factor of 2 (3 in 4), and Death
Rays by a factor of 4 (4 in 6). With the decrease of Heavy speed by 5cm
and the lower armor, but the added Save I only bounced the cost up by 5.
The Baron moved up in cost accordingly.
The Baron does not have the Hero skill because I beleive the increased AV
and Save do the job well enough. If it was a Heroed Paladin it would have
an profile of 25cm,45cm,2FP,12AV,Hero+ClS which is not what I see a Baron
as.
The Lancer went up to 10 points higher than the Paladin to act as a
deterrant or there'd be no reason to take Paladins. I think the 10
points might be worth the increased move and Close Support. Playtesting
will tell.
As always comments, criticisms, and especially battle reports testing
the rules out are welcome.
