Field reports from Bosnia/Hertzagova etc.. make this point. There is, I
hear, development of a cheaper anti-personnel rocket system to deal with
heavy built up area fighting.

    On the other hand basic SM and Eldar infantry units both have missile
launcher/heavy weapon pieces right in the basic squad. There firepower stats
in the 25mm SM game would indicate the ability to damage at least the outer
room of a structure enough to keep whoever is in their pinned down, and
"suppressed" enough for the standard infantry tactics of suppress/move has
been the opposed advancement/ attack since the invention of the machine gun.

    Now as an Epic2nd player, I really HATE to say this but that just might
be what they mean by those darn blast markers in that new game.
