<SIGH> I've been reading this with some interest and I think that people
have been either confused with the NetEpic wording (which I am unsure of as
I don't have a copy in front of me) or the rules changed between NetEpic
and SM/TL. I always thought they worked the same way in NetEpic as they
did in SM/TL. In that they were just like a cruise missile. They were
launched and flew around the board with a random move each turn. They
could fly in any manner they pleased and could detonate anywhere they
pleased (unless they ran out of fuel). The phrase quoted above was meant
for the effects of the WARHEAD when it detonated, NOT for the way the
missile is moved or fired. So yes, in theory a Deathstrike missile COULD
fly around the back of a Titan/Praetorian and hit it in the ass. Such a
thing would, however, seriously risk running out of fuel on the way, thus
wasting the missile. Better to get it to the target ASAP.

IF the rules have changed in NEtEpic, then the above explanation is wrong,
but I believe they haven't. Peter, am I right in this? Is the Deathstrike
missile basically unchanged from SM/TL?
