Subject: [DS]LAD versus GMS/L
I'm setting up my artillery. I'm going to attach a couple units of infantry to act as air defense. The question is should I use LAD as specific to air defense or should I give them GMS/L which can be used as opportunity fire when the get LOS to the air unit?

Now *that's* Terminal Guidance - a GMS on an Aerospace frame! Wonder how GMS/H's would work?! Seriously, can you do that? I always assumed no - that's why LAD exists... Gracias,

> -----Original Message----- No, I do not think you can do that. My solution has been to attach at least one (if there are more than one) ADS vehicle to the artillery battery. More expensive than a LAD unit, I know, but it has worked so far. Adding the GMS/L makes some sense to protect the guns from enemy ground vehicles, though. I will have to consider that. > Gracias,
