Say that I have reason to believe that you're going to field 3 4-attachment mechs. If I field 5 mechs but with only 11 attachments among them, I have a 2-mech advantage but we'd each have 5 points per. I'd start the game winning 35 to 25, with 4 more white dice on my side and only 1 fewer colored die than you. (The downside being that my mechs would be correspondingly easier to kill. Strike that - instead, correspondingly easier to make ineffective.)
Personally, I find it psychologically difficult to build mechs without stacking them with stuff. I expect to lose dramatically to someone who can do it, though, one of these days, if they can play it right.
