Actually, you leave them on the table (I remove the missile from mine
to leave an empty launcher). Quoted from Space Marine Battles,
Imperial Guard tactics, "After the missiles have fired, move the
launcher in front of some valuable support unit where there meagre
assault capabilities might save the day!"
Sounds like a good idea, but unfortunately 2 out of three dead
launchers = 3 VP's. However, I did this once. And ork Battlewagon
charged one of my bombards, and the Deathstrike launches rammed into
the side of it, and actually won the ensuing close combat. Just one
of the freaky times when what is explained in the fluff actually comes
true on the tabletop.
Christian.
