It makes the ADS environment a much more important factor in the game.
 In fact, that's one thing I'd like to see in DSIII--an Air Defense
environment like in SGII which abstracts the effects of air
superiority and theater air defense systems.  After all, a task force
commander would have absolutely zero control over air superiority
fighters or Patriot batteries, but they would affect his battlespace.

Well, I gave them an artillery marker with no way to deliver
it--didn't buy the artillery system.  So then they just smack into the
target.

Although simulating a 20kg shaped charge should probably be a
seven-chit draw with GMS validity.  :)
