Artillery is mostly effective,even on armour even if it's just suppressive bombarding,they get supressed,and will be less accurate on next turn right?

Say you send an costly airstrike on armour and the likely miss,worse yet,attack frendlies,,ouch!

Consider the pro and cons and spend your force point wisely
