i meant worse because it actually added a "kill zone" where we didn't have to worry about it before. because now without a Rangegiver(TM) lascannon or whatever, there IS a limit to the models in a unit you can kill even if every firing friendly model is in range of 1 target enemy model.

also just noticed there's a GD typo in the faq sentence. for chrissakes

Ok, "easier" I would agree with. Though realistically, there aren't many cases where you will be in range with your 12" meltagun and kill everything within range of the 24" boltguns. You've got the rule right I think, my point is just that the boltguns should be plenty to cover the meltagun's range... though the ML can do a fine job covering the bolters.
