Handicap with DAG Single Player?

Is it possible to play a SP-game with my DAG army against the AI, giving the AI an advantage as in the historical scenarios? I couldn't find this, but maybe I just missed this last night.

Edit:
Sometimes I should read the stickies:

This might be, what I'm looking for... but why not just the buttons "favour xxx" as in the historical games?

Iain's advice allows you to control the advantage. You can give the AI say 500 points whilst chooing any amount below that for yourself.

Actually that is not advise from Iain, it is something they have planned for a future patch.... As for now the ai only will buy to match what you purchase, not what points you set up the DAG as, so unfortunalety, there is no way to handicapp yourself at this time...

You could always take 500 points worth and not use a set number of BGs. Just park them on an edge facing the wrong way and give the AI a BP advantage to compensate. Not very elegant, but should get the result you wish.

Yes, this is announced for the next patch. I just was wondering, why the known system from the historical battles is not used in the DAG-Battles for SP. It is so simple and effective...
