Just out of curiousity, though, has anyone tried fielding larger UNITS
of super-tanks vs. equal point value forces (ala Laumer's Dinachrome
Brigade)?

A number of years ago I tried this (though I don't remember what system
I was using) and discovered that the survivability and deadliness of the
cybertanks began to grow non-arithmetically when they were fielded en
masse.
