How about "each missile in flight takes up a FC." This is actually quite
realistic, as many naval ships today have the capability of launching a
lot more (semi-active homing) missiles than they can control. SAH
missiles are also the only ones where you can pretty much guarentee that
they'll hit the right target, rather than something in the target's
general vicinity, which nicely ties in with the difference between MT
Missiles and SMs.

An FC used for missile guidance may not be used for any other purpose.
Since by the sequence of play, most MT missiles are likely to be fired
and hit or miss in the same turn, this is no great hardship. But if you
are guiding them ovber a long range, multiple turns, then you must
either	"cut down" ie lose track of the missile in flight, or do without
the FC for local defence.
