Then there's the other way to look at it, as another Ork player noted
to me in giddy joyousness, which is that massive assault squads will
still get full attacks because you just yank wounds from those guys
who aren't engaaged. For example, say you have 30 Orks, 16 of which
are engaged, 14 aren't. That's 64 attacks! But the other guys strike
first and kill 10. Well, under current rules you're down to six in
combat, so only 24 attacks now. But wait! The new 5E says you can
yank them from those unengaged guys, and still get your full 64
attacks!

Oh yeah, that's going to go over well...


dont forget to mention that the dark eldar had an initiative of like 8 or
so, thus eliminating all models in base to base and the surrounding area,
you have to close in to attack him even though he doesnt have to touch your
base to attack you.

Well, if he can kill 10 guys, more power to him (granted, he'll
probably have Incubi who CAN kill that many Marines). Otherwise,
leave the guy(s) near him to strike back. Even if you run, you're
going to get your swings in, might do some good.
