The amount of shuttles available shouldn't matter because their losses were never hinted during the entire mission, but what we do know is that Harbinger is plastering the landing area like a fricking Russian style WWII artillery barrage. So unless there is some reason were given on why Harbinger stopped firing (I doubt he could miss with that much firepower), this destroys the seriousness of a rather touching scene.
