Rockets are optimized for use against hard point
targets.  Bunkers are good targets.  Squads spread out
hiding behind trees are not good targets.

Having said that, there are shoulder-fired rockets
with incindiary or thermobaric warheads that I'd use
against infantry.  But your standard IAVR is a HEAT
warhead of limited usefulness against infantry.

On the gripping hand, the problem isn't so much that
he volley-fired the damn things against a target that
wasn't worth it, the problem is that you can't
reasonably interpret the rules to permit you to fire
twice in one damn turn.
