   No worries, especially on Sunday with a new system.  Either way, I was in a
 primo position to whack him whenever he activated.

    Yeah, but what kind of cover keeps a blaster from shooting at you from 
  above?  They would have had to break for cover behind a building, and at
  infantry movement speed, they'd have been long dead before they reached it.

    Perhaps the answer is to have a mechanism for "hopeless" firefights where
  the side that can't shoot back can disband its unit and end the firefight
  before the other guy can creep up to it.  Just a thought off the top of my
  head.
