I think this is less of a problem with the effects of BMs
and more of a problem with under-costed Disrupt units. Overwatching
Disrupt arty (or pop-ups) is *powerful* and not at all expensive.
It's not hard to see that you don't win by killing enemy units, you
win by piling on the BMs, and Disrupt arty units make that damn
easy.
