        More turns!=more depth, IMHO. And the air cover generally
means that you want to shoot at the nearest target if you don't want
to be shot at. Since most units shoot at the nearest target anyways...

        I didn't notice a single problem. The 30cm command isn't a
problem, since each detachment now has to have 30cm command, and
companies don't exist any more. I actually find it less restricting
than the 6cm command that my Eldar armies had before.

        I don't have Windrider hosts any more. I have lots of little
things, the largest of which is a bit over half the size of a
Windrider host. Also, since my targets are also clumped, and all I
have to do is stay in a 60cm diameter area, it's no problem.
