i dont try to win assaults. mostly because it has never, ever worked for me. I mostly try to make the assault end on my opponents turn. in most cases, my squads get wiped out in the first round of combat, which, means i can double tap the heck outta the enemy in my next turn.
of course, i do have to set up carefully, and hope i anticipate my opponents assaults correctly.
power weapons wont wound most targets cept on a 5, and an ossifer with a power fist doenst have the toughtness or armor save to not get killed before he gets the chance to smack anything. and commisars and priest are too darn expensive.
