The HEL is only useful against ground targets, and anything it can hit,
a large MDC can hit harder and better.

Do note all your platoon leaders can call for artillery on their own.

You don't have to do that, and it's _expensive_.  Cost with no benifit
is bad.  :(

You'd have to houserule it to allow that.  If your opponents let you,
fine.  If not, cut the vehicle in half down the middle.

I said kinda light--that means I don't think you have enough of them.

I admit it--I cheated to get enough infantry.  I used the Stargrunt
