Nah, they only help if you remember what to look for. It helps that 
it was by someone else. Usually there is some back-and-forth to get
the numbers and rules interpretations cleared up, so they stick to 
the memory better than some of my own.

There is a trend towards fewer, larger rockets with better range
and an option to fire guided missiles in additon to rockets. The 
current western/NATO model is the tracked MLRS, with the wheeled
HIMARS firing half a load. The Russians have relatively recent 
ex-Soviet models like the BM-30.

More, smaller rockets are still used as well, e.g. by Brazil, but 
Germany just got rid of the LARS in favor of the MLRS. That could
be a holdover of our cold-war preoccupation with the Fulda Gap.
