If you move a unit from pos(1,1) to pos(7,1) by hand, the number of
keypresses you would have to do would increase, since now you don't have
to press space (unit is made inactive when it runs out of movement points,
and it always does, unless it arrives). If you also are encouraged or
allowed to try alternative moves when you run out of movepoints for moving
onto a tile, then the number of keypresses increases even more. This is a
bad thing.
