Agree with you other than the last point. Nick and Richard rather tastefully shot a Swiss Keil to bits without me even reaching contact when using their Napoleonic Grand battery and Tercios at the Rollcall Beta tourney... but I am over it now...

I would leave Elite at >60% as they are at the moment as this works fine, but I agree with the rest.
