        Surround him? Not really, I just base-to-based
everything in his detachment, and when choosing casualties
I removed the ones that actually had a chance of running
away. 5 or 6 bikes survived the actual combat, then all
but 2 died trying to flee. Now that I think about it, I
realize he wasn't removing casualties with his upcoming
retreat move in mind. But I don't think it would have made
a big deal because of the daemonic save (he scored 4 hits,
I saved on 2 of them, so maybe 1 more bike could have made
it out alive).

        If you, as an assault det., can get into base-to-
base contact with every stand in an enemy det., you're going
to kill just about everything. Assuming you actually have
an assault-worthy AV, of course.
