You have this problem even with equal point value games? True, 'a'
batteries are  the weapon of preference, but if you limit the point
value per side to the game, wee have found you run out QUICKLY! Also,
wee have seen while 'a' batteries are more preferable in combat, once
thresholds are suffered and you lose those precious 'a' batteries,
there's something to be said for the 3 'b' to 2 'a' ratio. Anyone
involved in a campaign would see that, especially when damage continues
from battle to battle unless repaired at space dock ...
