What about interactive Tactical Combat ?

"hey, what would happen if I had an army of X, and gave it such and such orders, and pitted it in such and such conditions vs an army of Y"

I'm not really against that. I'm just against the fact that some people (probably not too many) would use it excessively in multiplayer games.

I'm personally against all 'unfair advantages' in all games, very heavily against. As you might see since I consider this one.

I have zero problems doing that kind of analysis just for fun for yourself or perfecting your strategies. I however have a problem with it if you are pitting your army against what you know about my army, and win because of that. It's a problem of principle, nothing else.
