So you want to have game with tons of restrictions? Well I dont. I know 
there are players who hoard the positions but it is really stupid to 
limit the positions that way. Also rules can be written as suggestions 
but not strict code.

That one I agree. But seeing that BM tries to get some realism (orders 
removed etc) then I thought that it would be a nice addon too.

Maybe I want too much freedom and should join some mailing list RPG? But 
I dont like too many game mechanical rules.
