  This is for the Lingo-impared.
 Well, Mike Looney, I will handle this post. Flak units die a rather bad
death when they are not shooting at a airplane. The two firepower that
you get from the flak unit is not worth anything when you have a save
(target number) of four or five against a squad of Imperial Space Marine
Land Raiders. Understanding that most Imperial Space Marine vehicles
have a save (Armor Value) of five or six it, the two firepower, only
helps a small amount. In Example pathetic little troops designed to
protect your better troops killers. And wait for a time Mike Looney, my
Air Power has not been forgotten about, just planning on making some
changes.


 Sorry guys. I must remember that we all are not from Oklahoma. I admit
that I flaunt the local lingo rather badly. Hope this helps....even
though it wasnt that bad...:-p
