Time Commanders

[ShadesPanther]

There were some classic moments in the series.

I would like people with some level of competence fight each other. Maybe have a tournament and have members like Historians, Army, Navy, Air Force and some other people who actually would know, not some average village idiot playing.

I agree that the idea of two generals is stupid and there can only be one (Highlander ~:p )

I prefered having normal people playing, im much happier sitting back critisising then wathcing people do it right, its all part of the fun.
That said id love to see the different branches of the forces battling it out.
If there was only one general there would be no arguments or debates over what to do next, you may aswell watch someone else play your copy of RTW!!

I don't mind the normal people playing, but usually the people who play seem to be very sub-normal who don't know ANYTHING about strategy. The woman who insisted on forming the tortoise formation because she wanted to see a tortoise formation was a prime example.
While I'm not sure if they do this or not, perhaps the contestants should be given information about the troups they command prior to the show so they can learn a little about them and what they do. Obviously they shouldn't be told which battle they will fight, but some troop familiarity is only fair since a real general would at least know his own men (Sun Tzu - "Know thyself"). Maybe then Eddie Meir wouldn't be reduced to making sarcastic comments and staring in disbelief at the contestants total lack of understand about the uses of the arms of a command structure.
I know they get told this during the program but the information given is always really brief and never provides enough information to give the generals a full idea of their troops strengths and weaknesses.

Forces battling it out would be great to see. Maybe even get Dr Arych Neusbacher (definite sp) down there to see if he's as good as he makes out.

Oh and maybe a big siege battle might be cool if a little basic.

I highly doubt that a bunch of Estate agents from somerset could match alexander the great.And in that episod "the battle of Issus" the contestyants got alex Killed! and then the presenter said "oh well one of sopns be able to continue the conquest", But his sons were only 9 and something younger yEARS OLD! .

Note: bad spelling. sorry

Al Khalifah, sound slike you take things very seriously, but personaly i think having Joe & Sandra Bloggs battling it out, is more fun than watching the proffesionals. Even the Eatsenders bunch did well.

Although, it would be nice to see Dr Chewbaccha & Co. tackling a random battle on occasion. Just seeing the RTW battle engine in action on the big screen is the main part for me

I think perhaps for all their knowledge and funny academic accents the sandhurst professors are afraid of being whupped by the cast of eastenders
