H- 8/9/10... Basically enough so that killing it would be a huge effort.
S- 3 (as a movement)
A- either 0, or maybe 1 to any unit next to it once the special has been "grounded". Obviously no damage to bases.
Special: the unit can be "grounded" at a place that a player thinks is good (costs a wit to do that), every subsequent turn of the player, the sight of the unit increases by 1 (but not it's movement in the case of it being ungrounded and moved somewhere else).

Maybe when the unit isn't grounded, it's health should be 2 or something. And grounding can only be done the turn after a movement.

I like the idea of something that can extend vision (I more like the idea of something that reduces enemy vision) but anything more than 6 health is gratuitous! Imagine making a 7-cost unit, and hiding it behind your wall of soldiers... The enemy might have to spend more than 7 just to try to take it out! No, I think special units should be squishy, unless there's a really good reason to have them tanky...
