Well, it depends upon what you call cheating. I used some bugs in the program 
to gain Khan position for Jade Falcon (Firemoth<?> vs. a Marauder and a Dire 
Wolf? ALL RIGHT!!!). By getting very close to one of the obstacles, and luring 
your opponent (on the opposite side of the structure) to do the same, you can 
sometimes fire THROUGH the obstacle to hit your target. Seemed fair - with 
priority problems, my foe eventually seemed to walk THROUGH the corner of the 
structure anyway. By that time, my little medium lasers had robbed the Dire 
Wolf of both of his arms, and had barely put his torso in early yellow. I just 
had to rush him, and then fire almost straight up to nail him. Sure, my mech 
was barely standing after taking damage from the resulting explosion, but I 
won.
