<sigh>
The thing is, this is also a very easy thing to do in SM/TL! In fact,
from what I've heard, the main problems with SM/TL showed up when people
ignored the background (which wasn't hard, and isn't hard to do in E40K
either) and just took good units -- i.e., three Overlord companies for
the Squats, which I menioned earlier.

Again, I agree with you -- stop cheese by building your army on a theme,
which was entirely possible in SM/TL.
