RE: [DS] Heavy Weapon Teams [SG] Laser weapons

OK. So you have 200 rounds, but your infantry team cannot move out of
integrety range from it or it cannot fire the mortar. This I can accept.

If you are saying that you can dump the ammo on a location on the board
and
have the Mortar Team go anywhere on the board and fire, this I would
have a
problem with.

No, it's over 200.  Every man in the company carries 2
60mm rounds, drops them off with the 2 60mm mortars,
and goes onto attack.

Dedicated ammo porters could carry far more rounds.

WHOAH!	15 mins?  Not bloody likely.  There would
never be a barrage that long.  Too dangerous.  And
take too much ammo.  No, a fire mission is generally
no more than 6-9 rounds per gun--remember the beaten
zone is due to the submunitions in most rounds.  And
the rounds don't actually fall for the entire game
turn.  Otherwise you'd be calling in artillery and
letting it block off avenues of approach and everyone
who drove through there for the rest of the turn would
be subject to fire.
