Oh, so in leagues victories are unimportant and only points count? I didn't know, but it's logical, as many scenaries are unbalanced and difficult to win.
What is the purpose for play in a league? Simple, win the league. If I can get the 3 or 4 league points, good. However I want to prevent my opponent from getting the points as well while I get 0 for loosing. Suppose both of us are sailing parallel to each other (10+ hexes away) after few turns. The game will time out soon enough. If someone get trigger happy and try to close in with the SOLs, you may get rake. Enough rakes can leave you a sitting duck. So it may be better to make sure neither of us get any point.
Keep in mind this occur more likely in those England vs France scenarios than the bigger ones. I personally will opt to fight it our rather than station keeping but it all depends on how willing the opponent is.
