     It really does not make any difference.   Two 5s mass 22,
four 3s mass 20 and add two 1s for two more.   if you get 50% hits
and 50% double the damage is the same.	 yes, I know, one 10 hurts
much more than a 6, a 3, and a 1.    JTL

     The strategy is inconsistent, high thrust and long range do not 
force the 'K' to use up thier short range defensive weapons.   
If the thoughts are fighters and missiles, what will you be using 
to defeat the 'K' after the fighters and missiles are gone?   JTL
(I think this is actually directed to John A.)
