Part of the problem is in force selection. A capable force of armor, infantry, and artillery with appropriate supports (air, engineer, counter-battery, etc) can clean house. That's called wargaming. But if your force is dominantly one troop type (infantry with AT missles, tanks, whatever) you're not wargaming. You're playing paper, rock, scissors. The points systems will be useless because you specialized and your opponent did not conveniently bring what you specialized to kill.
