  I know flak was underpowered, but this seems to swing too far the other way. Did they increase the
points for the flak units, or reduce the points for flyers? Because I can't think of any flyers with
a range greater than 30 cm. My poor 160 point gargoyle unit can only expect to have one survivor
from 40 points of ork flakwagons.
