Remember, for every Coconut fielded in a detachment, you are allowed to
take two flyers as support. Stats are:

Swallow (African) Flyer - Range 45cm, Firepower 1, Assault 1/1,
                Armour 3+
The coconut must remain a string's length away from each swallow.

Note that the next WD contains rules for the Lemon - same stats and cost
as the orange, but with extra firepower due to the increased acidity.
On the downside, the boxed set is �12 for 3. Oranges will still be
fielded by players unwilling to buy the new lemon minis.

Ah, but will a mole eat a potato?

Strawberries can only be chosen as part of a detachment from May onwards
(they cannot be picked any earlier).

Now tell me that arguing about tanks is more fun than this :)
