RE: [FT] Weapon of the Week - AM-SM

Depends on the target.	Lots of small craft, I'd take the area attack
AM-SM,
against big capitals, I'd take the standard SMs.

PSB expansion: the area effect is generated by a "phased" or
"constructed"
explosion sequence.  PDS can disrupt the effect by destroying enough
warheads that the explosions fail to support each other in the shockwave
etc.  (good enough?)
