[Discuss] I hate this kind of orders: "If you have X hours left until you arrive, delay your Time pool down to Y hours"

Worst. Idea. Evar.  Well, maybe not entirely, but the day one person is able
to control the travel and movement of an entire army with the click of a
button is the day BM dies in my eyes.  Battlemaster is what it is because of
the individuals that make it up.  Take away the individuality and you take
away what makes the game most unique.
