I don't know how people can complain about historical accuracy and balane at the same time. I've noticed some griping about both. Those too ideas are in conflict w/ one another. You know how Ghengis Khan swept through europe w/ superior thechnology and tactics, not very balanced. You can lok at it this way. Playing a faction w/ the OP'ed units makes for an easier game. If you want a challenge play a faction that will have to fight the OP'ed units. Man if you balance guys amde a WWII game your Tiger tanks wouldn't be any better than your Shermans, as for you hard core historical accuracy guys, It would take as long to play the game as the acctual events took. Anyway I've noted who's be arguing for what and if you complain about both, I will deliver you a smack down.

I can't wait for Tetris Total War. I love that square peice, but from what I understand it's overpowered and the rate of the drop for it is historically inaccurate.
