Double deck , one board

Greetings All,
I mixed up two decks for a breakthrough scenario, and being an idle swine I havent bothered to split them back to two seperate decks.
Now playing regular one board scenario's.
Do you think using double deck would unsettle play balance?
What I have done is add two more air sortie cards when playing air rules. Reason - if there are two in a single deck there must be four in a double deck.
Any mathematical/analytical types out with a comment?
Ta,
Fred the Obscure,

Also being too lazy to separate them. I bought two extra decks. Keeping the original one for standard scenarii and shuffling the two new ones together for breakthrough.
Then of course they brought out Winter Wars, and now I have a breakthrough deck of its own, and the double-sized normal deck just sits in the box looking ever-so-slightly glum.
Worth it though- "on the move" is great.

Being another one that falls into the "too lazy to separate decks" category, I also bought 2 decks for Breakthrough that won't see too much use now the Breakthrough deck is out.
What I did was this. (Warning: Might not be doable for "Lazy people", but IMHO worth the effort)
Separate the 2 decks, choose one of them and add in all Recon-1's from the other deck into the first.
You will now have a 66 card deck with 12 Recon-1 cards. I use this deck for standard scenarios that has Combat Card rules, and find it really good.
So I have now:
1 standard deck
1 Breakthrough deck
1 Overlord Deck
1 standard Combat card rules deck.(The modified deck mentioned above)
1 incomplete standard deck(usable for card houses if you play against players that are SLOW)

yea, so I'm not the only lazy bugger out there.
point taken Stevens - I'll split my deck when playing single board again. Thank you.
I can see what I really need is the Breakthrough expansion.
I feel a late Christams present to myself comming up.
Wonder what the Rand/Dollar exchange rate is like at the moment?
it's always the postage thats a real bugger, often more than the gane/expansion itself.
Ah well, nobody said it would be easy living in Africa.

I just separated 4 decks that accidentally got mixed up over time. For a while I was playing with either too few or too many of various section cards. It helped that I marked one deck with a black dot in the corner of the card face.

Fred,
It changes the game using 2 decks but I wouldn't say it unbalances the game.
I have 4 decks. One single deck well played. Two combined decks (bought as extra decks) for use as a "double deck" and a spare unused deck.
I"ve been playing "ordinary" scenarios with a two-deck deck for a while and find that it plays well. You get different sequences cards, but I don't think that this is bad.
It is really up to you, how you want your games to play. If you and your opponent don't mind I'd recommend using a double deck. That's my preference.
