 Well, Mike, Ill take this one. They DIE a horendous death when not
against any Arpower. That 2 FP isnt really squat when you have a save of
4 or 5 against a squad of Land Raiders. Seeing as how most SM vehicles
have a save of 5 or 6 it only helps marginally. I.E. Cheeze killers. And
just wait Mike, the Air Power is not given up on, just thinkin of
tweeking it....
