Kits?

[Colonel Talvela]

I can speak for me and the small group of CM friends that I am most familiar with - trying & finding clever "kit combinations" that give you an advantage is one of the best parts of the game.

Right, it may not be 'rampant', but there are still a minority of players out there who'll do everything to give themselves an edge; it's not exactly cheating but is still not nice to see, I could tell you stories of what they've tried to pull on me..;)

on the other hand, some people probably consider it doing 'everything to give themselves an edge' to only play one type of game over and over and over and over and over and over ....

Personally, I consider the "7 platoons of inf and 7 tanks" much more gamey when considered in a competitive way.

Of course that is the great thing about CM and the blitz - lots of variety and plenty of ways to challenge yourself in a way that is important to you. So even Mark "the Coil" Sweeney, the demon blitzer, can proudly call himself a ladder leader
