 True, but in a CC heavy force like Chaos/Tyranids there might be too
many units to be able to pin them all. Especially with Tyranids, as they
always pass leadership rolls. (until nearly wiped out that is)

 BTW, I really see little effective difference between the Flamers moving
up to 75cm and engaging in HTH, moving 60cm out of HTH. Sheesh, I'm just
glad they didn't make Bikes into Cav units, that kind of move would
scare the crap out of me!

 Well, they more I deal with E40K, the more I'm liking the overall feel of
it. Now all I have to do is try and keep Epic 2nd rules seperate from E40K.
