Not true. A large Ork detachement on overwatch, with a "Dakka" card
will blow the crap out of a drop pod drop. Matt fell a bit to close to
my "Goff" clan (
http://www.spellbooksoftware.com/epic/detachents/Waagh-Tunez/goff-boyz.htm
) which was on overwatch, for it's own reasons. This caused me to play
my Dakka card (from the WD) and blast the snot out of the bugs. I
think I killed 80% of the detachment or there abouts.
