Ok, please correct me if I am wrong, but it appears to me that CA in its infinite wisdom did not consider worth the while to correct the bugged 2H animations even with 3 patches for M2TW till date , or is their some other unknown factor that I am ignorant of ??

The reason I am inquiring with regard to this is due to an anomaly in my present campaign. I have
M2TW patched up tp 1.2 and am playing DLV 4.0PE- no other modifications. Yesterday in my HRE game, I sieged Breslau, and during the assault my 4 dismounted mailed knights, supported by 2 dismounted Frankish mercenary knights, ie a total of 480 men lost to the following:

1. A unit of Templar Foot Knights 91men
2. 2 units of Town militia 226men
3. A single bodyguard unit 50men
Total 367men

My troops were led by my Faction Leader. After my ballistae blew out the gates I sent in the above, and they failed to break through, not only that they caused 20-25% casaulties only. If this MTW, I would know that I lost due to the squeeze factor, but I am aware that this feature was discontinued from series since MTW-VI.

So what is wrong then??
