The Best Board Game Ever Is a Chilling Re-imagining of the Cold War (War is Boring)

Picket Duty, Fletcher-class DD facing kamikazes on Okinawa, very detailed boardgame and card simulation of a destroyer defending the US Fleet of aproaching kamikazes. Very probably worth of viewing:

BM- 21 battery is consisted of eighteen forty-tube 122mm rocket launchers and they could bomb enemy positions with 720 rounds of non-persistent Sarin or Hydrogen Cyanide in a single 20 second salvo, reload and replicate that strike 10 minutes later. BM-21 Battery used in War Cabinet Game is suitable for surprise attack against troop concentrations, strong points and command centers. How would you counter BM-21 Battery?
