All this plus they skipped directly over the focus on lethality that Friday Night Firefight had. If you get shot your outlook is extremely grim. I think it's the only system I've played that has rules for using other people as shields.
Frankie Boyle: "Humans actually make very poor shields. That's why we invented... the shield."
Even if humans and shields were as effective, it's a lot easier to replace all your shields every battle than half your army. And shields are a lot more obedient than people going straight into harms way.
