Which is fine if you're able to remove the BMs from the
heavily-suppressed detachment. But retreating the det. in question
does you no good if you continually roll 1's to remove BMs in the
end phase (which has happened to me before - and yeah, it sucks,
probably about as much as losing a crucial CC because you rolled a
1 and your opponent rolled a 6). Erratic dice rolls will lose the
game for you very easily here.
