Yes, in fairness, if it's all just for fun, and you're not going to use points values, there's not a great deal of point in asking for tactical advice. If you're taking a competitive attitude towards the game then you really do need to use the points value system, and follow the rules as they are written.
Tactics are about using the rules to make your force as effective as it can be versus an opponent trying to do the same. If you're not going to follow the rules, then it's a bit of a fools errand.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with wargaming without points values "just for fun", but if that's what you're doing then you need to employ the "just for fun" attitude, rather than the "trying to win" attitude.
I also think "just for fun" is more suited to experienced gamers who tend to have the competitive thing out of their system, and might be wanting to explore the story/narrative side of the game rather than the competitive (although if you're really good you can manage both!).
Good luck with whatever you decide to do. Remember, the only real rule that matters is that you should both be having fun. If you're not, then you've got something wrong somewhere.
