  Doom weavers can shut down heavy artillery very quickly, especially if your
opponent likes to field them without infantry or hides them behind cover. Gaurd
typically has crappy assault values, so maybe field many smaller units of HTH
troops; you should still get a few units without blastmarkers into the melee, and
leave any badly suppressed units out of the fray so you don't lose some of your cc
bonus to blast markers. Remember that you can lose 2 or 3 stands for every
artillery piece you kill and still come out ahead points wise.Coupling those two
tactics should give you a decent chance; I use biovores to shut down artillery
pretty succesfully.
