        Heaps of gargoyles, OTOH, are very hard to get rid
of. Intercepting flyers can only shoot at one target, so if
you have X gargoyles and your opponent has Y interceptors,
you're guarunteed that you'll get (at least) X-Y shots at his
flyers no matter what. With just harridans, all your opponent
needs is an equal or greater number of flyers with a decent
intercept value, and there's a decent chance you won't get
to shoot at all.
