...I don't see a problem with adapting Action Points to a different purpose, though? Or maybe that part wasn't clear...

I don't actually disagree with your point; I just didn't quite get how it fits as a response to what I posted, that you were responding to.
A small fight generally involves teamwork. Large groups generally involve small teams.
The scale goes up that high because, for example, an artillery commander might need to take into account a much larger battlefield than Platoon #123.
My post wasn't clear in a number of ways. It could have used quite a bit more refinement - excluding that the idea isn't that good in the first place. And that lack of clarity has caused additional confusion. So yeah, that's on me.
