Yes, smaller detachments are too fragile. This is about as small as you
really want. But as you're only paying an extra 25 pts for 2 of these
compared to a much more unwieldy 12 unit/6 Rhino unit, I consider it
worthwhile.

True, but what else costs less than 136 pts and gets 12 FP on overwatch?
Against a large, 300 pt enemy unit, just take 2.

..in which case add 2 more Support weapons (and 2 rhinos). But your
force has grown from 136 pts to about 300..

No, my private Steamroller consists of 12 detachments, each consisting
of 1 BattleFortress. 85 pts each, and 8 FP (1 BM). Plus associated
Pocket Rocket detachments.
