Should get less attack power like for normal attacks.

Good point. Ok, so we should not look at movement rate at all, then. Keep
bombard_rate, and set moves_left to zero when you are done bombarding.
Adjust bombard_rate correspondingly.

But this will give us issues, however, with fighters, who need movement to
get back to an airstrip. I don't know what to do about them.
