True, and even if the assets aren't more in number
than a standard platoon, the specialized nature of the
elements probably will.

DSII Rules even lend themselves to this.  I read more
closely, all GMS fired by a UNIT (Not a single
element) are layed out before ADS  is resolved.  ZADS
firecon is gonna degrade PDQ if 6-8 GMS/H's are coming
in, and even with a PDS backup, the law of averages
starts to weigh in on the side of the attacker.
