Agreed.
A more general questions: Will you want stats or not? No stats + honourable players means tactical elements will be preserved between sessions. No stats + cheating players (looking at save game of other nations) will essentially have the same effects as stats (except exact troop positions are not known). I am neutral in this issue; it is up to you to decide whether you want stats or not. The positive benefit of stats are of course that they can be very interesting in the course of development of a country.
