        Yep. The Assault factor in Epic (both versions) has to
include the effectiveness of the unit's armor, in addition to
other factors (skill, weapons, etc), since armor saves are not
allowed in close combat. While in 40k, you do get armor saves-
merely beating a model in HTH doesn't mean much unless you are
capable of hurting it.
