        Theoretically; however I wouldn't be at all surprised
if the point system breaks down if you take an overwhelming
number of vertain troop types.

        The DAs are supposed to have an inordinate amount of
termie suits, correct? In any case it wouldn't really require
a different organization, just a statement along the lines of,
"This chapter has a lot of terminator suits because XXX." (hey!
it's the all-termie chapter! so that's where those all-termie
40k armies come from)
