Numbers, schmumbers.
Having lots of Bish numbers has nothing to do with world conquest. We can't get organized no matter how many "numbers" we have.
It's why you see 347 light fighters over a small base and no goon within 233 miles of the place. It's why our buffs (all three guys) will be flattening an ack factory when we're down to our last 3 bases.
Trust me, if the Bish win a reset it's purely by accident.
I think that's why I like my fellow Bish and why I've stayed since day one. I love this attitude!

Still, I salute all you valiant fighters for the chess piece of your choice! May your chesspiece rule the bits & bytes maps! May your strategies be legendary. May your campaigns be sung around the campfire. Long may you conquer fanstasy worlds!
I think I'll just play to have fun, however.
My plan's been working pretty well since beta but YMMV.
