60 Deathstrikes? My stomach's turning already. ("Is that a Harpoon
Missile? No? Shucks.") I've been locally threatened with beatings if
I field *one* Deathstrike under E40K rules! Has anyone thought of a fix
for Deathstrikes other than outright banning them?

Yeah, but with a sufficiently wide table, you'd need either trained mice
or those sticks they have in casinos to push dice around. So we'd need
a table about a mile long. Either that, or we could do some convoluted
donut configuration. Coordination should be painful ("Hey! Is
everybody done placing orders yet?") Also, we'd be better off playing
second edition. A stand of guardsmen was 20 points back then; nowadays
it's 7.

Oh wait--are we playing strictly Guard, or are we including Tech Guard
and Marines?

At least I'm not contributing to the running Squat joke! :)
