A single Super heavy Weapon is 1 SHW, regardless of its effectiveness; such
as, 3xAT, 3xDeath Ray or even 6xDeath Ray, it still counts as 1 SHW for Blast
Marker effects.

P.S. Of course, the REAL sticky question for purposes of Titans, War Engines
and even other detachments, is can you charge the Blast Markers against FP
... yes, ... even when the FP is out of range?

We have received some mixed answers on this and I have Allen querying Jervis
on this one. If not, then Blast Markers have even more power than thos of us
who love them want to see! And, the SHW's appear to be very fragile weapons,
and can be shut down by the very first BM in many cases.
