Ayup, it /is/ savage.  Of course, arty is one of the most powerful
forces on the DS mapboard, so it does balance out a bit.  Considering
that the real net result is to make arty unavailable /from one element/
for a few turns, it could be worse.  If you only have one arty element
supporting your forces, you deserve what you get.

Just means one element bit it for a while, unless you're /really/ savage
and you make it two elements from the arty unit.

Essentially, yes.  Of course, being a RenLeg fan, I /did/ have rules for
`slow missiles' of the grav-seeking variety that maneuver like actual
vehicles, just extremely quickly.
