Absolutely right. This is the way it was designed. And I admit I consider
this as the basis of Eldar tactics.

Really, Agro, what would be the _real_ difference between a unit with
pop-up capability and another one if you can shoot it whenever you want?

capability is one of the most powerful asset of the game and are afraid of
it.
