Because a significant number of BattleMaster players are zombies that feed on 
"Orders" instead of "Brains". If you don't order them *each*and*every*turn* 
they just wander around with this glazed look in their eyes, moaning "Orders! 
Orders!" I've tried telling people to move to a region three or four regions away. 
Half the people send me messages back asking "How do I get there?"

I'd love it if the system could be made to work. But I just can't see it 
happening.
