Otherwise I might as well go back to summary-level reports on the battles making up a narrative of what happened in between start and finish.

Wow.... that sucks.

I haven't given up yet, but it does make it harder to get the enthusiasm to play each time. I did play for a couple of hours yesterday, but nothing to really report yet.

That's my next one to try out, though what I'm reading about it in the mods section doesn't suggest it will necessarily fix the problem. It's less so an issue with the formations (which start out fine), and more with what the AI then does when the battle starts.

I'm afraid the permanent CTD death-knell has come again. In spite of removing client rulers, I'm still getting an un-navigable CTD in the AI turn. Three campaigns with 1.1 ending in failure tells me my machine doesn't like it; I never had these issues with 1.0.

So I think it's time for a break from EB for a bit to gather my energies, then perhaps come back with a 1.0 AAR. I'm not done with Pergamon yet!

Wow, you've really got some bad luck with CTD's there. It's too bad, this was a good AAR.

On a side note: I've been thinking about how you play with the Romans, with all of the Force diplomacy to keep other factions to historical expansion, and EB2, once it's out, might be perfect for that. M2TW allows the ability to control multiple factions, which is usually used for multiplayer purposes, but I suppose you could try to control ALL the factions of EB2 directly in your ultimate historical campaign. That might give ya something to wait for....
