I had thought about this, but it seems to me that, to an extent, having
a commander choose his objectives makes sense. Objectives are rather
abstract. Who knows why one of those areas are important. Maybe one
of them is a focal point of warp energy, which would be worthwhile for
Chaos, but pointless for Squats. However, the enemy gets victory
points for denying the objective to the enemy. Of course, this can be
abused, but it's not completely illogical.
