Interesting point.  From a game perspective, if you assume that it is 
generally poor doctrine to fire GSMs at infantry (not positions!), then 
perhaps implimenting a die roll to be *allowed* to take the shot makes 
sense.

Private Bob might think that popping off a GSM at the sniper is clealrly

the right thing to do, but since the Sarge has told him that is not what

his missile is for, a quality check (by the player) to have Bob fire 
against doctrine makes it somewhat less likely that Bob will be blowing 
off rounds at the infantry.
