I was quite excited by the VI add-on initially but found out that the average game lasted only 3-4 hours of hard gaming.

Serious... Ive sorta played with the Irish, the Scots, the Picts and the Saxons... The Viking was a little more diificult faction than those above.

All in all, the VI was a simpler strategic game (Duh&#33.

My main grouse with the game is that it had an over-emphasis with the 'chopper' units. It was absurd with entire armies of choppers in the field and not heavy enuf cav to ride them down. Moreover, choppers will often cost at a fraction of the heavier cav.

Choppers like Gallowglasses, Highlanders, Celtic Warriors, Berserkers, Huscarles...

Especially absurd was the game with the Picts. They have access to the Berserkers and i go to battle with entire contingents of them.

*I wish there was heavier Cav to ride them all down*

Sorry for being largely out of point, was just considering the other aspects of VI rather than the Full Campaign.
