Re: Frozen, immoblile. Eternal sleep ready to wake or dead popsicle?
Sorry, too many words from me creating confusion. Ignore the two model unit thing. In a unit of one model, that one model can't take the test because it's immobile. So it can't try and quell but also can't fail the quell test. So it can't get out of immobile either in a good way or a bad way. Unless...

Frozen, immoblile. Eternal sleep ready to wake or dead popsicle?
One of the prerequisites for quelling is that a unit isn't immobile. So if a unit is immobile then it can't quell. Freeze crippled models are immobile. In my head at least (make of that what you will) that sets up an interesting situation. If a unit of two models where one was crippled and one wasn'...
