I guess knowing modern military, it has just never been an issue for me.
The lag also is attributed to unit orginization. If artillery is in
support, it takes longer or maybe won't come at all. If it's attached,
you get it when your in priority. But if it's INTEGRAL, it's on the way
ASAFP.

I can see your delimna though ... but I think I would still allow it.
