Any limits we have should be points-based, like "no more than one of any
particular kind of card per 1000 points" or something. This allows people
to take a fair chunk of one particular unit if they're making theme armies,
without going massively overboard. If you find it too restricting or not
restricting enough, you can adjust the value.
