Yes, that was basically the point, the FROG-7 icons were primarily meant to be used as igh-value targets, since mostly the minimal range of such rockets exceed 10km (actually even that of the Smerch which I spent a lot of time drawing...).

Andy, you have to admit that there are already a number of division-level-and-above support assets available, if only strategical SAMs. In some OOBs (Russia being the most evident exemple) you also find long-range artillery tubes and MRLs (namely 2S7 and Smerch) which are generally used only inside an artillery division.
So IMHO one could consider having heavy support available for some rare cases, admittedly not on a common basis for your average company-on-company skirmish! These would be things available either to scenario designers for example.
