Long lost tactical manual

What you could do is even out the points. Players playing the "Bad" side would have 50% more points then the "Good" guys.

Infantry with Light AT/Heavy ATGMs should be able to "kill" most post-cold war western MBTs.

In a lot of instances the points generally go further playing the "bad" side as well. Regardless they usually have the option of making them go further too. Taking advantage of this generally requires relaxing your sense of historical accuracy, and I'm sure in many PBEM games it wouldn't necessarily be an issue. Against the AI its definitely not.

I played a game a while back, Saudi Arabia v Israel in 2006 and wailed on the Israeli force by buying one battery of off-map MLRS and then not buying any on map units except SPATGMs (French APCs with TOW missiles, the name of which is escaping me) and Camel Patrols. Even in using up all the points, the Israeli force was dramatically smaller than mine and easily succumbed to the barrage of missiles and rocket artillery. Camel patrols drew fire and picked off straggling scout infantry.
