Perhaps there should be any option to switch the novelty items off though. Obviously you can refuse to use them yourself but the AI might still produce them.
I had fun with those dogs in my German game. I'm not sure if I finished that campaign, though. They don't deplete unless the handlers die so I used them kinda like a missile unit.
