The off-board stuff is how I would imagine SGII level artillery normally

gets handled...but Allan had mentioned the idea of "units in your force
on 
the table" that could contribute to air defense, and I was curious as to

what he had in mind there.

AA vehicles are an obvious choice, but they tend to be equally obvious 
targets.  Something smaller would make for more interesting gaming, I
think. 
  Maybe some kind of portable jamming system, to deflect "smart"
artillery 
rounds.  Wouldn't help with the dumb stuff, though.

It's an appealing idea for some reason -- I like modelling this kind of 
thing.
