        No, in fact this is covered by the Doomweaver
rules - units on FF can move out of the way. Only
units that are specifically immobilized are trapped
(due to psychic lock, or having fired a Plasma
Destructor, or whatever). Note that getting hit by
a Wave Serpent doesn't mean you can't avoid the webs,
according to the game designers.

        IIRC, a unit on FF forced to move because of
a Doomweaver has its orders changed to Advance.

        Yep.

        Storm Hammers are useless against eldar.
Might as well give him a 2 VP handicap.

        You're not taking this already? What are
you killing his titans with?
