The games that I have played against eldar opponents are perfectly happy
with this (to a degree). As they basically can stay on Assault orders
and run straight up the field and get mixed up in Firefights pretty
quickly, this is their saving grace, that they can seriously mix it up
in firefights. That firepower 2 is rather nasty!
I had a game where a detachement were hounding the end of my Ork det. as
they were beating me on firepower quite nastily!
But aaaahhhh! To mash pointy ears in CC is bliss :-)
