One trick I've found that works well in that regard is to pretend you "forgot" about the 200-pt. limit. I'll tell you what though, having a more balanced force will help you win and all that, but a month after the game is over nobody's going to be talking about who won, they're going to be talking about the guy who went out in a blaze of glory, crashing his jet through a squad of troops and into a wall... so to some extent, the more unbalanced and ridiculous your army, the more able they are to pull off crazy stunts and last-ditch futile gestures, the better. The other advantage to a badly balanced force (besides glory) in a game with a lot of players, is that it forces you to cut deals and depend on alliances. Well, that's not actually an advantage, but it makes the game more entertaining. Unless the loser has to buy everybody pizza and a round of drinks when the game's over, winning just isn't important enough to field a boring army. So be careful! Make sure you keep the right priorities! > Anyay here are some pics that might interest you.

		Another Point to Ponder ...
(...) Hi Mike, As one of the NELUG Brikwars-Fanatics, I wanted to pose a question to you, as the keeper of all knowledge arcane and sacred regarding the game.
