Congratulations!

at
point-blank range (it doesn't need a fire-control - right?)

Don't have my books with me but just about everything (except PDS) needs
a
firecon.

As you get more practice, you'll get faster.  I usually play 1500-2500
points per side and get it done in 2-3 hours.

see how we like them, as these are my wife's favourite mini designs from
my
collection so far.

One thing to be aware of when you add new weapons is that they often
take a
little practice to get used to.  The first time you use salvo missiles,
for
instance, you're likely to say "they suck!" because you're not used to
getting them to their target.  You're just as likely to say "they
rock!",
because you guessed well, your opponent is not used to dodging them, and
consequently gets vaporized.  Same thing applies to UN grasers, KraVak
weapons, and so forth.
