Well, that's the good thing about games, they never actually happened
(unless you're playing a historical one, which E40k isn't).

Can anyone answer a question for me, btw, the transport ships they used

exposed the men to enemy fire as soon as the ramp went down? Maybe some
sort of shield on the front?
