        and maybe add 'save'=

was the only non-SHV in 2nd edition with 1+ armor,
a=
nd 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
(1=
0 or 15cm, 10 is probably better - no faster than
sticking the troops on fo=
ot, but their chances of
surviving are a lot better). Point values would
p=
robably require some playtesting, since there really
isn't anything in the =
game like it right now.

I wouldn't give it a save. Even the super heavy ta=
nks don't have a save, also the dozer blade was only on the front. How abou=
t make it a sort of small war engine.

Use your stats but give it a a DC of=
 2, no save, and any critical kills it(just make the chart be catastrophic =
damage-destroyed, no huge explosions or anything). Cost about 50 or so poin=
ts. The Dc gives is survivability. Also, allow it to be taken as support fo=
r a detachment. Well, just a thought.
