        OK, so what's the justification for re-instating this rule?
To make the Ravenwing better against Eldar (and vice versa)? I can't
see any other real benfits (and if it ain't broke, don't fix it).

        You also couldn't fire out of close combat, regardless of
pinning. Which led to silly situations like a lone infantry stand
charging a Titan and keeping it from firing. The current pinning/
firing rules are simple, semi-logical, balanced, and easy to remember.
I see no reason to start fooling with them now.
