If the rhinos can get within 15, they still add 1 for support.

Once I'm in the general area of where I want to be, I definitely put my
rhinos up front. They get shot up first, and although having them die
counts towards getting the detachment to half strength, there are more units
when you add them than if you hadn't. I'd rather they get shot than the
marines and devastators, who have the same armor.
