You have some very understanding players. I would ordinarily agree with
you, since IMHO most of the Eldar Titan weapons suck, but sometimes you
just get tired of constant whining about your Titans. I felt it best,
after the better part of a year, to simply go along and limit their
weapon selection in the same way.
  Of course, I don't complain about Plasma Destructors. I like them! In
the big games {4000+) they get doomweaved to hell for firing the big
cannon.

All rules have ambiguity! I can't count the arguments we've gotten
into.

Haven't had this problem yet, since no one here plays Tyranids. The IG
artillery is plagued by 1s in our group; it's almost as bad as my BB High
Elf team!
