The old Rocket Launcher sucked, but the new one is pretty neat. I'd
like to see the Eldar D-Cannon get an overhaul as well. Not because,
the Humans got something, so the Eldar should as well, but because the
weapon just needs to be changed. I'd like to see the this weapon hit on
a 2+, and a -3 save modifier applied to building destruction.

SO true! The BEST way to play the Humans, is to play each army
seperately. They each have such a unique style.
