Would all two hundred of them track down the PCs? I think you could make
it a small party, with about the same number of Sleepers as there are
PCs. This makes it more of a cat-and-mouse game, since it's easier for
them to eventually find out who the Sleepers are and start fighting them
with their own tactics.

I haven't actually read the books, but from what I gather the Sleepers
are usually something you want to keep away from because they're an
added complication to whatever the heck your current occult agenda is.
If the entire game is built around fighting them, this becomes less of a
problem.

There's that, and also that Sleeper mundane equipment seems mostly off
the shelf; a PC group with financing could easily kit out themselves
better than some Sleepers.

The Sleepers do seem to have an edge in magick... which might tip the
scales in their favor.
