First of all, I also like Conan's show, but I have no idea what that
has to do with WC (love that ostrich!)

Second, if you're not using the FF, you're missing a lot.  It's
guidance system requires no lock(you don't even have to target
anyone), so it's great against strakha, if you're in a hurry.  It's
also very useful if you're playing on nightmare against a swarm of
Ekapshis.  Just release a few FFs, they will seek out any enemies on
your tail.

As for the Leech, it worked great in Armada, but I think Origin
thought it worked too well.  They weakened it for WC3, only too much
for it to be useful.
