        Ah, but in E40k you're not really facing any more
fire than you would have if you were playing on a 'normal'
table, since the arty only has a range of 3-4 feet. You
would be facing more fire, since the arty has a chance to
dig in before you get within range, but not much more.

        This raises a question of mine: how do people use
their psi-blast/reroll fate cards? Save them for important
rerolls or to counter that farseer trying to blast your
fully loaded Thawk? Or run around frying anything that
looks important?
