missiles which come on the titan (they are removable) and once they were
gone, they're gone. Under E40K rules, I don;t think this is so, so the
missiles must magically reload somehow (hundreds of gretche emerge as
sson as one is fired, each with one part, and a blueprint which says
"you go here")

------> In WH40K you fire One missile at a time, (I believe there is a
limited salvo option) but once you run out, your out. OK for that game,
but one thing Epic doesn't need IMO is supply rules. You could work up
some kind of system using counters, but we already have the heavy
barrage every other turn rule, and I'm not sure it would be worth a real
add on. Could borrow something from another game (Necromunda?) and just
say on a bad roll somebody's out of ammo - make the rolls a little more
exciting...
Call it the "limited ammo" special rule and stick it on mega cannons,
barrages, etc.
