I don't. If you and I sat down to play and you wanted to deploy (secret)
troops in thawks I wouldn't have a problem with it. In fact I wouldn't
even ask you to write it down, I'd just assume that you would keep it
straight. The first time I thought an opponent (here not meaning you,
since we have never met) was teleporting troops from one thawk to the next
I would want full disclosure, no compromise. This guy has already blown
his one chance. I of course would suggest that you (in this case the
suffering Eldar player) also tell him what transports (falcons, wave
serpents) have what troops. You got to be fair.

I REALLY wouldn't go for the idea of not telling me what troops are part
of which detachment/company. No way, no how, not even a little chance. I
would refuse to play someone on principle. My stuff is painted so that
you can tell just by looking, I'm not going to just let someone else play
"what you see only might be what you get, you just don't know". Forget it
(can't believe how steamed this is making me, I don't even KNOW the guy).

Can be a problem if it is a small group. You are better of trying to work
out a compromise.
