Well, only if we were playing NSL.... (just kidding, the play on 
words was just too obvious!).

Moreso because clearly mass 72 would bear little resemblance to the 
namesake. Clearly mass 100 is closer to the truth. We'd use a C++ 
battery, but only if we were content to run slowly (say speed 6). We 
like speed so probably stick to C batts and go speed 8. And once you 
introduce the unbalancing Canuk field (you can take that to mean it 
unbalances those in the ship it is used on), no one else really has a 
chance. Ships armoured in 100m of Ice - takes a long time to eat 
through that to damage the underlying structure. How can you stop an 
army of SG2 forces organized into "teams" bearing hockey sticks (+2 
die shifts in close combat) and hockey armour (d10, bonus to speed 
while on skates, automatically resolves casualties into either bloody 
nose, concussion, or game misconduct) and chanting either O'Canada 
(with at least half the verses in French to confuse our Southern 
neighbours) or whistling the theme song from Due South, one of our 
largest cultural exports? And Morale? We don't check Morale in cold 
weather.  

Sorry, this has gotten very very silly. Reporting self for
