    Usually enough to cover the table approximately, or my forces, but
no
more than about 1/10 of my total force (in vehicles).

that by then you could design your fire control systems with the

to track those signals (effectively turning every tank's main gun into a
HARM).

    You do have a point here. I've failed to consider main guns versus
active ADS/ZAD. This is because I'm normally taking out ADS/ZAD with
"tossed" DFO or GMS/3, not with main guns, so this hasn't been/become a
concern to me.
    It's a good point. I'm going to have to do some work on this point.
At
the moment, the quickest and nicest way is for the main gun firer to
roll
the ADS/ZAD quality in addition to their fire control dice versus the
ADS/ZAD size.
