A bit off topic, anyone who has played SP3, what do you think about the "Orders" values that limit the amount of orders we can issue a unit?
I think it's a novel mechanism but not sure if it's realistic/fun/enjoyable?

It was a simple but effective orders system, I liked it.

In it, every platoon had an objective flag, and movement more than about 45 degrees away from it was charged at +1 point. orders points were used by HQs to move the flag, or to call in arty etc.

So a much simpler form of orders than you got in say most tabletop rule sets, but did the job IMHO.

However the feedback from the end users was that 90% of them did not use it as it "stopped them doing stuff" from what I recollect (I was on the beta test team for SP3 back in 97 or so). So they left the option for orders switched off.
