and all you clipping haters, how real is it to have a line of scouts streched half way across the board to deny movement?
Perhaps you're completely missing the point? Sometimes people make suggestions about the game because they want to improve something, not because they can't win games. The fact that I do defend against and use clipping myself in games doesn't mean that I think its a sensible and fair rule. Understand?
This similarly applies to Stompzillia and Chroma's childish insults saying people only complain because they don't have care and foresight to set up their army right, or are just upset over losing a game. Its a rather pointless theory of just insulting people who they disagree with so they can use ad hominem instead of saying something relevant or on topic.
As the respresenting minimal overal damage to a formation; thats what blast markers are for.

Either way he is screwed. But talking about the realism, what would the Chaos do? Charge blindly 10cm across open ground toward the Coterie while all the Reavers use them for target practice? Or would they engage the closest enemy that was shooting at them?
IMO the latter seems to be the most realistic choice and exactly what the rule calls for.
This is another good point, they should engage the closest enemy... but dispite running at the Reavers which are their nearest agressors to deal with all their bullets seem to fly off at right angles to hit bad guys that are over twice as far away.
They're not
actually engaging the closest enemy that was shooting at them, which means they're not doing what you say is the most realistic choice because thats exaclty what the rule calls for.
