Did anyone else have trouble with thier javelin skirmishers? They kept retreating before the enemy and I don't mean in MTW 'enemy are in range so we will run' style, more 'enemy are within a mile of us, we are off!' style. I don't think they even got half way into range, but the battle was so fast they might have throw a jav or two when I wasn't looking. It resembled one of those Benny Hill farces, with my skirmishers running everywhere chased by a walking unit of Romans who were a very long way behind.

Steppe Merc, yes, I am rather relying on mods now since the demo failed to convince me RTW would last a long time on its own. :sigh: I can't even say I had high expectationswhich have been dashed and ruined my experience; I settled into mild ambivolence some time ago.
