        Under the Optional rules, Thunderhawks suffer 1/6 casualties
and the rest suffer the delay of a turn. Gargoyles suffer 2/3
casualties and 1/3 have to be repaired/healed. Snap fire happens 1 at
a time, so it's quitely likely to be driven off but not destroyed.
However, since there seems to be the silly 4 turn time limit in many
scenarios, this limits you to 1 pass with your fliers.

        But the problem with snap fire is that even Genestealers and
Lesser Daemons get it. I mean, there's the long legs Chaos Card, but
this is ridiculous.
