Nat, please don’t mention things that are in the supplements without clarifying that that is where they come from. It confuses the new players who have only the rulebook to go by and will have them searching through looking for it.

The main reason that the game is not a competition game is not because of the points system. As mentioned, points are available, although they were not repeated in BP2.

The reason it will never really be a competition game is the random Command Phase and the way order’s are issued and the way the rules like to deal with things in a “Gentlemanly manner” when it comes to settling disputes. The rules are too open to interpretation, which is why the supplements have so many suggested alternatives, which a player may adopt or not, as each wishes.
