I was thinking it would include something like your Shield Wall as part of a phalanx close quarter fighting formation.

IQ 8: Shield Wall (1)
If Figure A attacks and hits Figure B then Figure C may may use a shield to stop some of the hits, provided (a) Figure C has this talent, (b) Figure C has a shield that stops at least two hits, (c) Figure C is adjacent to Figure B, (d) Figure A is to Figure C's front, (e) Figure A is no further from Figure C than Figure A is from Figure B. The protection provided is one less than the shield's normal protection.

Or whatever 1 point close-quarter military discipline thing the GM could come up with: Formation Cavalry Charges? Ramming Speed for naval attacks? Rotational Volley Fire?

Like Physicker, but only heals 1 point instead of 2. If you have this talent then Physicker only costs 1.

I like this as it makes sense to have sequential healing talents. Someone who takes this is not trying to go into the medical field, but could later on.
It should only work with a First Aid Kit or Physicker Kit.
The handicap with someone working First Aid when there is a Physicker around is that doing First Aid would preclude having the Physicker help afterwards.
