This is why Bezerkers suck. =) The 10/20cm speed is just
no good. Even if they're inside their Rhinos at the start of the
assault phase, the most you can get out of them is 25 + (5 or 15) =
30 or 40cm. That's outside the range of small arms fire, but if
you're assaulting defensive positions there's probably no shortage
of 45cm guns on OW. So now I'm thinking that maybe Bezerkers are
better used as reserve troops, since they haven't been that useful
on the front line so far. But that just seems out of character for
the rampaging, frothing-at-the-mouth sorts that become bezerkers in
the first place...
