So make the battle longer, don't fire your full load into the popcorn
since
more than 1 is a waste.  Save those SM's for later rounds.  If your
opponent
isn't big on ADFC's target fighters on the little toasty ships.  They
die with almost no effort and each costs more in NPV than your fighter
group.	Stay out of range on  your big boys until you have cleared the
dregs.
