Did you consider the fact that the FB1/2 beams 
do more damage that the FT/MT beams.

This is great! I'm always looking around for cool phrases and
whatnot like these. Particularly since some of these make great
names for climbing routes! :-)	(I know, I know, most y'all don't
climb, but for those FEW climbers amongst us, these are pretty
keen for not only FT ships (or tanks and whatever you name), but
work very well for newly established routes). Thanks for the post,
Nyrath!

(actually, scanning through the list again, some of these are
already used for routes in some of the more premiere climbing
spots across the U.S. - woo! I love it when my two favorite
activities meet on common ground :-)

I understand that, but I was really wondering if they gave anything
more specific-- so I would know whether or not, in my SG2 game, I
would be within range to call for fire support.  We know they can
cover the entire DS2 board, but what's the groundscale?  Just looking
for hard, numeric ranges.

What sort of ranges would company level artillery typically have in
terms of today's equipment?

Just looking for hard, numeric ranges.

1" or 1 MU = 100 metres or yards.
