Fighting RL battles in VL requires discipline on behalf of both
sides of the issue to abide by the results of the VL battle. If the
physically stronger side in RL *loses* the VL battle, what's to stop
him from then starting a RL fight on the VL winner?

	*real* beating!" ;)

War is about supressing and forcing a foe to accept your terms.
Fighting RL battles in VL is simply arbitration: a civilized answer
that may not suit most situations.
