Points aren't real important to most players. They are important to the computer as a logical function, but what's important to players is if you own more objectives than your opponent. This shows who controls the battlefield, which is basically why the battle is being fought in the first place. You could simply count the number of objectives you own, but I think listing them would be better, not only would they be easier to count, but they might be covered by units or some other obscurity. With the old DOS Steel Panthers version you could turn off all units while looking at the map. That was a nice feature.
