2 things:

i tried a BC-horde approach in a game... i have RS LRT and
put 3 sappers and 6 beamers, 4 shields and 4 jammers on one
of them.
these ships are easily gateable, very fast, highly jammed
and the armor/shield ratio is great. you can build lots of
them and gate them where you need them.
these ships are really hard to kill!
shield stacking is great, and 4 jammers isnt that bad...

a more important wm feature:
there is one trick i like to play against chaff:
use any/any/disengage for your missleboats. his chaff
makes 1 step forward, his other ships 2 or even 3 in the
first round, which means their ships are not protected
by chaff, but yours are.
can make a great difference in a battle.
against a warmonger this does not work, as wm-chaff moves
2 steps in the first turn, so protecting your expensive
ships (ok, not in case your beamers do 3 steps and the
opponent has range5 missles/torpedos)!

hope this helps...

(zoid - is this again a "trick" you call a cheat?) Wink
