Hmm... I dunno, that'd make men a bit *too* good if you couldn't run
them over at all. Maybe make them have slower reactions so that they can
be run over if it's timed correctly.

Excellent! Agreed compeltely - build in some actual combat strategies
that you can select using keys or something (Just like Star Trek;
"Evasive pattern delta" (-: ). Different strategies suited for different
unit types. Would make a much more exciting game.
