A mix of both, plus a few blackout.

Getting 60d KE damage out of a 200mm modest warhead requires about
400 yards per second, so a 10-lb. rocket motor can roughly match the 
indirect fire range of the mortar. The rocket would be 30% lighter 
than the APEX shell. 

I'm not using a smaller, faster rocket because the APEX is about 
getting plenty of the "EX" through the "A" -- the after-armor 
effects count as much as the initial penetration.

For an interstellar force, battlesuits are the low-collateral-damage 
option. Send them in if you want to take the place and not just wreck
it.
