About the pull request
Squad Leaders can now chose between picking either a set of B12 or M4 armour, whereas currently they can only pick a set of B12 armour with the option to buy a set of M4 armour for 30 points.
SLs can no longer buy M4 armour.
Explain why it's good for the game
Functionally the difference between M4 and B12 armour is a small boost in defence versus one extra inventory space. This change will increase loadout flexibility for Squad Leaders between those wanting a little more defence versus those wanting a bit more inventory space.
B12 armour is no longer sufficiently unique enough that its presence is an indication of someone being a valuable target as now many roles can easily acquire the armour. Ergo a SL picking between either set of armour will not render themselves any more or less identifiable as a Squad Leader to xenomorphs.
It also felt egregious that Team Leaders could get M4 armour for free but SLs could not.
