Artillery is also a tool -- it can be used to deny passage or you can  
advance behind a wall of it.  You can burn who passages of ground,  
drop bomblettes, generate smoke, etc.  I guess my point is that it's  
more than just dropping rounds on upright infantry platoons in the  
open.  It's a tool.

Pretty much like any weapons system really.  :)
