Well, even a great searcher would have trouble finding the basic rules,
because they aren't there any more.  The GW guy (lawyer? probably) who I
was in contact with objected to the presence of the rules, because he
said they weren't in the agreemernt.  Truth be told, he's right; I did
only ask for permission to put material from White Dwarf up on the page.
 I'm going to have to put something more on the combat tray up there,
though, you're right.  (I do talk about it when I give details on the
9-square bursts, but not for regular firing.)  The other truths are that
the advanced rules totally replace all the basic rules, and that the
basic rules suck rocks.  But that's another story....

I'm just curious -- did you press GWUK on the issue?  They denied for a
while that the metal Eldar Drednaughts (for EPIC) were available, then
it turned out that they were.  But, to my knowledge, they *don't* appear
in any catalogue.  Anyway, I'll try asking when I next call the trolls
up.  Oh, and have you seen the picture?  I'd love to put it on the
page... I'll probably scan in the Ghost Ship counter from "Doom of the
Eldar" (one of GW's board games), but an actual picture would be
*great*....
