When a scrabbler converts a shell, shouldn't it go to 1 health?

I initially thought that a scrambled shell should be unshelled (movable) with one health needing the taker to spend a wit to shell it up again - but perhaps that isn't fair to both sides.

If I have a shelled shell ready to fire - then that cuts both ways. I should expect return fire if it gets scrambled and unshell it or protect it better. It's not like any other piece isn't as deadly after a scramble as it was before the scramble - but explaining it in the help will go a long way to people knowing how the game works before they experience it.

If you don't read the rules - shame on you. If the rules don't cover the gameplay - especially the edge cases - is that a feature or a bug? I prefer the latter but perhaps people like to be surprised and feel it ads to the gameplay?

Seeing over "pits" as they call them is in the rules, or it's implied in the rules. Sniper - "Can hit any target within 3 spaces, firing over pits and friends, but not through barriers or enemies.". You can't shoot what you can't see.
Not to mention, many maps have prespawned units near "pits" making it apparent that you can see over those spaces. I do understand your point but I think they did a fair enough job of explaining it.
