So I tried the Prologue, just to get the full exposure experience, and it has been a while since I've TW'd, and so far it has run without a hitch.
Graphics look more like S2 than R2 to me, the interface and icons are much improved from R2 (not a high bar to beat but still), there is more complexity in the management, and the basic starter units performed just as I'd like, although everyone routed in one battle when Chiefy died despite having a clear advantage in numbers and position.

All in all day one no regrets
