I stand humbly corrected. I will henceforth remember the Tyranids'
annoying special ability. :-)

I'm getting the impression that maybe this tactic wasn't such a good
idea... <grin>

Thanks for the comments, apparently database programming and wargaming
tactics don't mix. It was a nice vision, though... fleets of jetbikes
and vypers sweeping all before them in a graceful assault/overwatch
dance.

Heh. We landspeeder heretics will cling to our extra 5cm...

Good catch. So, the Vyper costs 2 points more than the land speeder.
The Vyper has 5cm more movement, but the Land Speeder is stubborn...
