RE: Philosophy/Design of SF War Games

Firing missiles as a separate action is more a play-balance issue than
realism.  I actually like the separate fire actions (and run my GMS/L
missile teams in pairs), as if the first shot kills the target, the
second
shot can be used elsewhere or the unit can dig in.
