        Why not use Marine assault troops for that instead?
The +1 AV doesn't mean a whole lot, but the jump packs sure
do.

        Also, a seperate tac det. only screens you against
assaulters, not from being shot. The reason to include tacs
in with the devs is to soak up some firepower without
seriously hurting your ability to return fire. You can set
the tacs up ahead of the devs, with the 30cm command range
they can be 15cm in front & still be in command. Thus being
in range of the same targets as the devs.
