simple and add complexity as desired for the appropriate setting(s). If
that requires a note to the effect that FB designs assume the use of
these optional rules, then so be it;

And a further note to the effect that the points system is broken, such
that massed fighters will always win, unless these "optional" rules are
used? If that's acceptable, it's a lot easier to write wargames rules
than I thought it was...

It may be realistic but it's not a very interesting game.
