        and maybe add 'save' in there as well. It
was the only non-SHV in 2nd edition with 1+ armor,
and the 2-saves-from-the-front thing made them
tougher than most SH tanks. Also, it should have
a high assault (+4 CAF), but it should also be SLOW
(10 or 15cm, 10 is probably better - no faster than
sticking the troops on foot, but their chances of
surviving are a lot better). Point values would
probably require some playtesting, since there really
isn't anything in the game like it right now.
