Yes, i was also worried about these attacks. I cant really
see any defense against them. I could surround my mechs
with infantry, but then there's be less forces other
places, and he'd simply choose not to use them against
the mechs. How do i prepare for such attacks?!?

This is a good suggestion. The old Gravguards would be renamed
to Spawnguards, and the new gravguards get the long range HW
tank busters.

This is really no biggie, its just that we didnt feel they
were worth the points. They made no real impact on the game,
and were taken out easily (granted, by volcano cannons).
Ill await your testing..
