Won't matter. The powergamers don't care if it really gives an 
advantage. They want the entire army to move _now_. They want everyone 
to reply to a request or order _immediately_. They want to run a 
turn-based game as a real-time MMORPG. It doesn't matter if it gives any 
advantage at all. I've seen enough sites dealing with MMORPGs. People 
calculate the drop rates of monsters or damage rates of weapons to the 
3rd decimal place, and somehow consider it important that combo A does 
25.241 damage and combo B only 25.238.

I disagree, and I make the rules around here.
