And possibly a good idea to take one heavy weapons battery on each
side. My HWB didn't have targets, because of the firing arc, and
so didn't contribute FP to negate blast markers. I had assumed
the MRL would contribute FP to negate blast markers, but during
the game I realized I couldn't support that, and then it was
confirmed. Even barrages are shut down with one blast marker.
