Some joker made some comment about waiting till I am an expert and good a tactics which after 15 years as a Combat Soldier and the Tactics Training I find amusing. Yet I only deploy at arial view and after that run the battle at troop eye level. It is why the graphics were invented...I think it is easy to move icons from above, but the game captures well the loss of visibility and chaos that occurs on the battlefield where you can't see and everyone hardly does what you wanted in the way you wanted. You think your good never losing a battle? Try it without pausing the game at troop eye level only. Hearing horses and trying to see them. Watching those screaming Barbs coming at you. Not sure what is behind a building or down the street. Waiting in ambush as they march closer and then thankfully miss you or find you, ugh!. Jeez! Anyone can be an expert with the pause key and an arial balloon view. All or 90% wins, no loss claims....Yeah Right! No fight like a man!
