I've said it before, but I guess it is relevant here again...

If your oponent is prepared to resort to cheesy army selection it is really
an admission that s/he can't beat you with a reasonable army selection where

Not many of my oponents are prepared to admit that they are tactical
incompetants hense we don't have much problem with cheesy army selection...
