Which was another reason for me sending my guys to Q, so I could threaten your drop point.

They've got to dismount some time. To clear abatis and "mines", for instance, which is what those plates were for. Maybe pick off a PL or PSGT if we're lucky, but at least force the tanks to button, deploy infantry, mill around and delay. And if you nail the marskmen...so what? They're civlians, it makes the Arrows look bad and it costs me nothing.
