I just figured that I would take this opportunity to whine. I once
faced off against an Eldar player who fielded a Phanton Titan squadron
each decked out with 2 pulsars and 2 lasconnon wings. Moreover, he
would put them on advance orders and just have them move a cm or two
to the side to get the 3+ roll from his holofields. AAAAARRRGGGGHHHH!
  Er, first, am I alone in thinking that this is a cheesy combo and,
second, how would you advise taking these scum down. I currently
field Marines and Knights/TL.
