Thanks, this may keep my Orc and Eldar players off each others throats for
a while. I ruled that the holo field gave the save, based on the same
"facts", but the Ork player wanted me to submit it for peer review ;)
We had another long round of our favorite inside joke. About the section
in the rules where Andy goes into his ever-suffering "roll a die for it"
routine. We decided we would set points value for a battle, purchase our
armies, set up the terrain, place our armies, and then roll a die for the
game. Haha..
