Ranger infantry

For a given projection of attack strength, smaller, better-coordinated, situation-trained, stealthy/camo rangers have a lower defense strength (but are harder to hit), move further, and are more expensive.

For comparison, infantry, which costs 1x attack strength.

Infantry 3/1 D3 M2 costs 3
Infantry 2/1 D2 M2 costs 2
Infantry 1/1 D1 M2 costs 1

Rangers cost 1 more "infantry point" than their attack strength; move one more hex; and opponents subtract 1 from a die roll to hit them (c.f. the Ninja Ogre). Their coordination, training, and endurance increases their cost.

Ranger 3/1 D2 (-1TH) M3 costs 4
Ranger 2/1 D1 (-1TH) M3 costs 3

Something maybe a little more interesting than the usual tread fodder. Not yet playtested: this came to me during a shower, and I thought I'd get it out there for comment.
