This is Rumor Control yadda, yadda, yadda...
Nope... because supression plays a _big_ part in the game. Doom Weavers
as being artillery can fire before an opponent's movement (Preparatory
Bombardment) and supress a detachtment at the beginning of a turn. A
supressed detachment then has to make individual tests to move or charge
into CC. A supressed detachment automatically has it's shooting power
diminished.
