Might be just my life experience, but I don't let age be an excuse. Could be I'm very strict in this particular department

Also, she would have been 16 at the time of the contest: She was in the first year of high school.

Most likely Maho had her own issues to deal with in the aftermath of defeat. However, assuming that she had the same kind of fingers pointing at her, the difference is that Maho stayed on, while Miho left and basically escaped.

Even if she'd thought of giving that order, they probably couldn't have carried it out before getting taken out, and they might just have ended up going off the trail themselves.
The tank that was trying to cover the flag right before the shot was fired seems to indicate there was enough room. Of course, it might have been futile, but still an attempt might have changed everything.

And at what point have we been actually comparing relative importance?
