RE: Point Values
I think what RADO is talking about would be something like Combat Mission Quick Battles where each side gets a set number of points and then picks units that together total that number of points. I think Steel Panthers (at least some of the versions) have a similar system.

In those type of systems you have to make choices when you pick equipment. Do I take a small number of expensive capable units (like KTs) and risk a lucky shot or two really messing with my forces, or do I pick a large number of mediocre units (PzIVs) and hope to overwhelm my opponent? In CM, increasing a unit's experience increases it's cost. There is also an option to increase or decrease a unit's cost based on its relative rarity, if desired.

Admittedly, the CS points system would not really work for that sort of function as is. Not very well at least for some units. But at the same time, considering the sheer number of scenarios available, I am not sure that a Quick Battle type system would really add much to CS. While I do play them in CM, I find that they get boring after a while, because they play out very similarly and they tend to be very artificial feeling.
