I don't see how it affects cheesemobiles, and barring scenario
subsidies I can't remember the last time I heard of someone taking
them and winning.

So if a jumping squad comes within 4 hexes of a hostile GEV, its
cloudy with a chance of meatballs.  As long as it stays at 5 hexes or
more, it's safe.  I was imagining a squad has to jump for all its move
or none of its move.  Also, I think lasers, already being LOS,
shouldn't get to double range - 30 hexes is quite sufficient!

I think I meant what I wrote: they have to end the turn in a hex they
could walk into, so no ending the move in a crater - the rads will get
you.
