IIRC, a lot of the voice work on MTW was done by Sean Pertwee. He also played deputy sheriff Hugh Beringar in a UK TV adaptation of Ellis Peter's Brother Cadfael novels, so he has an authentic mediaeval pedigree.

I agree with an awful lot of your points. After finishing my first short RTW campaign last night, I'm sorely tempted to go back to MTW. Last night, in my final battle, I lost two units of missile cavalry because they wouldn't stop running around in a &*^!*&** Cantabrian circle and run away like I wanted them to.
