Yes it's feasible.  I have been known to drive people
up the wall with that strategy back before I finalized
on the doctrine I use today.

Consideration should you ever be in a campaign game:
These puppies are 100% tied to a fixed base.  They
have to be reloaded after every fight.	And if your
opponent is prepared for them (ADS systems and banzai
jammers like the Mu-class target drones I've mentioned
before) then he can absorb your strike and still keep
going--and level your base.  But as auxillary forces,
they are quite useful.
