Why the aspects? Just 'cuz they're cheap?

Are they just transport or are you p=

I think a better flier composition would be ad=

instead of Harlies and homogenous fliers?

1) =
If you are using the "Meeting Encounter" rules for the tourney, then you
wo=
n't get to pick when the fliers arrive, as they are considered reserves.
Si=
nce they will be your only reserve detachment, they _will_ arrive during
th=
e movement phase of turn 2.
2) If you put them on transport orders, the p=
hoenixes are just hanging out,
being worthless. Assuming they don't take a=
ny damage at all, you can't do a
bombing run until they refuel, i.e. turn 2=
.
I believe this is not true. The phoeinixis would get to fire normall, b=
ut they just have to
stay with the vampires and attack at the same time. A=
lso transporting flyers fire at half effect. Also, when the fire they drop =
off their troops. The other flyers in the detachment fire normall, e.e like=
a normal ground attack.
