How about combining these two? Make it a fortified building with a CAF that
can be broken in an assault or at range. And only by the attacking side. Not
sure how to do this though. Does the defender get the points if the attacker
doesn't destroy the objective, or is that too easy? The defender has to
place the objective under normal restrictions of course (probably behind
something so it can't be shot up so quickly), and they will have to allocate
resources to defend it...

And i'd rather have the objectives selected randomly after the armies have
been chosen. I'm always up for persuading people to choose armies that have
a bit of variety and balance and to play with some adaptabiity.
