Armour Facing Rules

[Hobbes]

Hi chaps, I don't remember seeing many debates about the armour facing rules - I'm sure there must have been some in the past.
Maybe because 95+% of people play with them on.

I've never played anyone who wants them off although I have played against Don and I know he prefers to play without (But we had them on for playtesting a scenario - and because he is a nice chap).

I found myself waking this morning and thinking about this - my first thought of the day - very weird.

To me armour facing should be very important for a game of this scale. I don't think the Campaign Series gives enough advantage to a player that manages to turn the flank of an opponent but at least armour facing gives one reason to try. At Divisional scale I can see that facing would not be important but at the scale of CS I cannot understand how one could argue against it. Yet for several esteemed players such as Don the game is more realistic without.

I would like to hear your views for and against.
Cheers, Chris
