Only problem with this is it requires errata to errata. And it brings in too
many questions, what if you fire only one missile? What prevents a player
from waiting until the last possible moment (counting his VPs all the way)
then fire them at the very last moment if it won't tip him over the edge. Or
if the battle is lost merely because he used a weapon. Who wants to lose a
battle for firing a missile??

Frankly its kinda ridiculous to charge VPS for using a Deathstrike. If used
its another special case rule and NetEpic already has too many of those. I
say count a missile from a Deathstrike as a unit , force the launcher to
remain after the missile is fired (and stay on the table at the launch site
or the missile goes "out of control". The price does not need to be raised
since really, the Titan missiles are better (instant hit and mounted on a
better launch system).

That's my opinion though,
