Ok, since I am kind of new to this wargaming thing, maybe I am missing
something.

Why would anyone ever use missiles in BrikWars?

Take a compasision between a laser and a missile:


MkII Laser     20 CP/20" Rng/2d10+4 exp dmg/unlimited ammo


MkIII Warhead  14 CP/24" Rng/2d10+3 exp dmg/one shot deal


Other than the fact that missiles look cool, why would I ever use them?  At a
higher Mk, they do less damage, have _slightly_ better range, and cost
_slightly_ less.  But with a laser, I can fire unlimited times.  Yeah, I know,
this is a nitpicky, dorky question.  So sue me.

Just wondering.
