Taken alone, I don't think that's a particularly noteworthy advantage. Nobody in their right mind wastes their time making 1:2 attacks on an Ogre anyway, unless they're down to practically nothing and have no choice.

The most noteworthy advantage of the -1 ECM is that it makes the tread units (of which there ought to be 48, not some damned heretical, godless commie number like 40) much more difficult to take out. Yes, it makes everything else more difficult to hit too; but attacks on treads are always 1:1, so the advantage is most noticeable there.

But is that really worth 50-60 points? Because without that -1 ECM effect, the Ninja would probably be worth less than a Mark III.

That's why I voted "I'll playtest it a bit." I don't believe that -1 is really worth so much; and I suspect it'll need a lower point value or some additional bonus from the ECM.

And a proper, god-fearing number of tread units wouldn't hurt, either. ;)
