I can undestannd your doing it that way. I think I'd be the same :)

Its all good if you MLCAD a model before fielding it! You are then just a

When you guys wrecked your models and scattered debris around the crater,

that you wouls just tear off the mech's limbs, for example, and leave them
as debris.
