Good point but this happens to almost all the arty detachments. The elday
just feel it worse with only a max of 5 artillery pieces instead of 10-30
like everyone else. Just take 2 or more and this wont hurt as much. With
2 of these you can win just by piling on the BMs and dropping their morale
every turn. In the finals of the tournament my opponent had a LR det with
17 BMs at the end of the turn. The fight did not last much longer. And
unlike other ppls artitllery these guys can move and shoot if they are
getting chased by mean nasty bikes and stuff. move of 30 sure is nifty!
