        No thanks. If I'm in CC with one of these three and magically
win somehow, I am *NOT* going to play double or nothing. Too orky for
me, just like Doomweavers and Warp Hunters. (How many dice do I need
to figure out whether that Warp Hunter hit?!?)

        It's not even that good at shooting up infantry. It averages
2 hits. :( A Pulsar averages at worst 1.66 hits in all but freak
cases against infantry (lay a barrage down, 6cm coherency guarantees
you'll cover 2). And the Pulsar is more versatile than just being a
below-average infantry killer, unlike the Power Fist.

        I hate only having 6 weapon picks, of which only three deserve
any sort of consideration. :( (I don't consider my Wing Weapons to be
pickable. I feel that a Phantom/Warlock comes out of the factory with
a Turbo-Laser Destructor and a couple of Thudd Guns, and then you can
customize the arms.
