___________________________________________________________
THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: I think they are close on cost with their stats based off of the Code: Blue Officer and they certainly do not feel too good currently. Dredd loves these guys as they offer a static way for him to actually be decent, if only I could have rolled good attack dice more than once. Lt. Stone is also a nice choice for a team-up, especially if you get the Crow in the mix. I suspect there may be some goodness as well with a Daredevil build, maybe some Spoiler or Red Mist or Rorshack.
GENERAL THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT: Feeling pretty good with this current version. Certainly needs more testing but I think we may be headed in the right direction.
