I'm doing basically what you are. That is, paint many moderate-sized
units 
in distinctive (cool!) patterns and use them as mercs. The largest unit
I 
have is my Islamic Federation (Allah u'Ackbar!) strike force painted in
a 
desert pattern. Having weened myself of <spit> Game$ Work$hop's <ack>
"you 
must paint our way" nonsense, I am inclined to paint as many different 
patterns as the mood strikes me. 

BTW, if any of you still have MB's Fortress America, the helicopters and

hovertanks are *perfect* for DSII. The game was quite awful, but the
pieces 
were winners!
