True, but that means I have only lost a small detachment and he has
effectively not moved during the assault phase. I am happy to have him do
this with a tiny little detachment whilst pounding him from my rear lines
than have him ploughing full speed towards my delicate (and expensive)
Falcons, etc. . . Small Jet-Bike units can perform a similar task. The key
to defeating Tyranids is stall, stall, stall. I am going to take casualties
anyway so I would rather they were ones I dictated and had little use for.
