The game's a cesspool with the hordes, giving away their missions gives them something to shoot at.
99% of the time, land is lost because not enough defenders can be roused in enough time and steamrolling ensues.
I thought AcesHigh was about promoting combat, after all the only rule in AcesHigh is; "Don't be a dick."
Using 200 to promote combat is aiding gameplay. Being in a horde to knock out Fighter Hangers is being a dick, preventing combat.
