When Magna Kannons came out my regular Squat oponent never used them
at high level again and kept hiding them and not ending up with much
he could hit! Which was extra cool at 50 points each and he still
used Thunderhawks which I occasionally was lucky enough to hit.

When we used Titan experience I ended up worse of as my Gargants
allways seemed to get taken out before my oponents titans
(4 Mega's 3 Greats 4 Slashers vs 2 Imperators 7 Warlords 6 Plus
Warhounds)
