I'll keep that in mind.  The Arty area is still fuzzy for the NPC.  I
would assume a majority of MLRS or (non-MD) tube Medium Artillery with a
reasonable amount (10-15%) Heavier pieces and possibly RAM Mortars on
board integral to a combat team but opinions solicited.

Well they have a moderately big "Semi-Green" party faction but I can
define it that way, can't I?

Not thrilled that way but the 4 cap for GMS/H and the desire 'not to
waste a cap' means the TD/possible Tank was Size 4, GMS/H x 4, Integral
Fire Team[Per Platoon: 1 APSW, 1 LAD, 2 Infantry] for close in defense.
