How does one bombardment for every one third of a move left
(punit->moves_left) sound?

One issue I see is the weakening of units when punit->moves_left <
SINGLE_MOVE.  Should a bombarder get both less attacks and weaker
attacks, or should the bombarder always attack at full strength? 

Another issue is with fast-moving units such as bombers.  If a stealth
bomber bombards a unit right next to it on its turn, it could get as
many as 36 attacks.  Perhaps a ruleset-wide cap of 10?
