My friends, this is a boardgame , not a wargame, and a very succesfull boardgame to be fair. It has been designed to roughly simulate two enemy patrols having a chance encounter in no men lands. Point. No missions for instance, for that you should at least modify fuel ratings. But it's very funny and it works very well.
Moreover, in the original boardgame you will not find any trace of the point system used on this site, which has been adapted from some unofficial scoring system used for many players combat in some tornaments. Therefore you should note that:
a) The scoring system is not well suited for 1vs.1 matches. To be honest Blue Max too was not designed for 1vs.1 which indeed are pretty boring.
b) The only reasonable index of your personal success (as in WW1) should be the kills you score and the general behavior of your squad. Count these, do not bother about losing or winning by points.
c) The "retire with honour" concept has been introduced for tournament reasons and to remind people that according to the rules you should try to exit from your side and not from the opposite one. But I suspect the name is a bit unfortunate, since many people seems to have too strong feelings whenever the word "honour" comes into play .
