        Thunderers shot marginally better, simply by costing about 5%
less per stand. They also had fully twice the break point of the Dark
Reapers, and twice the movement, as well as being able to buy
transportation for a third of the cost (Rhinos vs. Falcons). I
believe the conclusion the last time we had this argument was that you
and about half of the other people continued to insist that DRs were
better, while the majority of the Squat and Eldar players kept
insisting that the Thunderers were better. As the debaters haven't
changed, the conclusion is just about certain to be the same if we
start again.
