thats the point i was making :)

in MTW, i'd get 1/3 of the way through a campaign & find I'd 5 or 6 fairly substancial battles at the end of a turn

with NO chance to save in between

THATS where the 5hr seshes were coming in for me

the turn sequence of RTW & it's saving points is a major imporovement

now i can play for 45mins & still not have to cop out of ANY scaps

why rush a campaign into a week?

i've waited a year since placing my order for this game ...

not saying that everyone should play the same but savouring the game has it's advantages until the MP scene has settled down ...
