You have a purely DFFG-armed unit?  Does that work
out?  I can't imagine giving up all my ranged
firepower.

I also dislike having GMS-pure units.  Each of these
weapon 'types' (direct fire, direct fire close range,
and guided missle) have their strengths and weaknesses
and in my experience tend to have a more synergistic
effect than anything "pure".

For instance, if you don't use GMS at all, then your
enemies do not feel the urge to design their vehicles
with ECM or PDS.  So they get to save big money.  If
you don't use direct fire at all, then your opponents
don't spend on stealth (I know, according to OO
stealth is never worth it.).  I'd rather make them
worry about every single threat on the board.  I want
them to have to buy ZADS and counter-battery radars
and everything else because they are worried about
what combination I might throw out there.
