>Dethstrike darn well better be one-shot! The missile is one-shot on a titan, how do you propose to reload it on a vehical. As for Pulsas I'd look at the points value, if they are really cheap, they are one-shot, if not, they fire every turn. I think they are not one-shot now, because they don't do anything kool anymore, they are just disrupt weapons.

Otay. Here it is from the Tome of Arcane Wisdom (the Battles book) p. 17:

"Finally, there are the one-shot Dethstrike missle launchers. They
cary huge Vortex missles, similar to those mounted on the carapaces
of Battle Titans. These are the ultimate tank hunters, able to crush
squardrons of enemy tanks or inflict crippling damage on war engines
with a single deadly shot"

That's as clear as it's gonna get. It says they are one shot, but
never really defines what that means (typical GW).

As for the Pulsa rokkits, page 46, no mention is made of them being
one-shots, so presumabley they are not.
