I think a few people would disagree with you on this. My experience
with missiles has been mixed, personally. Some games I've had dismal
luck getting them in position, other games dead-center. And ships
*died*.

During the run-and-fight-and-run-again battle through this forest of
horror,
she is finally cornered. Her weapons have been left deep in the bodies
of the
slain or broken against the granite-hard scales of these snakes that are
not
snakes. Her stand to the death must be fought here. Though her only
weapons
are her hands and her deep and wide knowledge of the slayers, she does
not
fear them. They will die. Of this she is sure.
