While I see what you're saying Ben, Moosifer has an appealing point, use those extra points, and adapt the Baal to whatever happens. I'll modify my list and see what I can use those points for, If nothing useful is made available by these extra points, I'll probably use the sponsons. It really all comes down to play style, want the security of guns so you won't have to ram until the last second? go for the sponsons. Lose a gun? just ram those suckers! I don't mind either way. Thanks for the attentive help! I really appreciate it!
