All of the above sound good to me, and describe in more detail the sort of thing I had in mind when I proposed a "CO" role (ie not a "GamesMaster/Umpire", neutral, role, but very much part of one side, setting objectives etc).
Not sure if I'm right in thinking someone - probably more than one person, but one in particular - has devised a set of "rules' to play CM like this (info flows, command delays, etc)? Think it may have been for 1 v 1 rather than multiplayer, but perhaps could be used? Here on TFGM, or on BF forum?
Ring a bell with anyone?

Yeah, the CO Ruleset is called Command Friction, there's a thread for it on BF Forum by Bil Hardenberger.
It uses a spreadsheet specifically constructed to force command delays when issuing orders.
It's perhaps excessively detailed for this game, unless the opposing COs are willing to learn it.

@WynnterGreen I went to the thread and was unable to download the zip file. Do you have a copy of this file?
If you can send me the file. I am willing to read through what Bil wrote and try it out.

Yep, sorry I was aware of that (relatively) new thread and spreadsheet idea posted by BH ... the one I had in mind (like I say, there are probably others also) is quite a bit older than that, and not spreadsheet based. IIRC it was someone setting out a series of limits / rules on what and when you could do things ... less specific than BH's spreadsheet approach!
