----> I was looking at this last night myself, and in the army list, you
can
make a deathstrike unit your HQ (IG Artillery unit). In SM/TL, once the
missile was fired, you just removed the carrier (I believe). What do we
do now? The carrier has its own stats, so...
        The reason I ask is that I have the traditional 6 basilisk + 3
bombard arty co from SM/TL. Now, you can have 10 units, so I could add
one more if I want, so I considered adding a deathstrike. What if it's
the HQ?
kinda weird, huh?
        (also, however worried you are about vortex missiles in this
version, I reallydon't think they're as devastating as the barrage
missiles
in SM/TL. Bad, but not that bad...)
