   Undoubtably, but I'm not really interested in finding out who would
win in
 such a set up.  I would mainly like to see which of the all pds; all
fighter
 screen; or mix of pds and fighter screen set ups works best.  For that 
 purpose, allowing the SM's to get an ideal strike will be sufficient.

 start working it out.
