Don't forget that as War Engines they can move again in the Assault Phase
for free, so end up acting like they have a move of 30 (assuming you move
them in a straight line). I think they're better than you make them out to
be, and I'll field a few when I get the models. Of course, I'll field
practically anything, if I have a model for it.

Temp brought up some good points too, but on the whole, you made me think -
always dangerous. Thanks for writing this stuff down.
