(Cool, it's completely legible w/Netscape.) I don't think making it a
WE is the best solution. WEs can't go on special orders, so they can't
prep bombard. Additional rules are undesirable, especially when they
exist only to "fix" one unit. WEs can move twice and shoot, it'd be
some truckin' artillery. Making this unit a WE would substantially
increase it's survivability because it would not be automatically
destroyed for not retreating from assaults and firefights.

Pretty much the same effect could be gained by giving it 2xbarrage (or
2x hvy. barrage, even) without resorting to the WE fix. Tho I still
don't see why the unit needs to change, just be priced according to it's
ability.
