I was leaning more towards them being C-battery platforms, 1 or 2 4-arc
C-batts
on a 1 or 2 damage pt platform.

I've played with that idea a *little* (re: once), but not enough to
really do
anything. They fell victim to long-range fire relatively early in the
battle.

If the conquest of a great peak brings moments of exultation and bliss,
which in the monotonous, materialistic existence of modern times nothing
else can approach, it also presents great dangers.  It is not the goal
of
*grand alpinisme* to face peril, but it is one of the tests one must 
undergo to deserve the joy of rising for an instant above the state of 
crawling grubs.
