        I wish I could provide a page number, but I don't have the
rule books with me now. Read the shooting phase section of the rule
book closely and you'll see what I'm talking about.

        It would be nice if you could stick some high armor targets
out in front of your vulnerable stuff to keep it alive, but the rules
seem to be written to specifically prohibit that tactic from working.
