    Caliban deserves a big hug!! That is so comforting to hear. My day suddenly improved dramatically, and it wasn't even a bad day to begin with.

    Legio what I meant was that the battle would roll back and forth if you were too uncareful and chased after the enemy when and if he routed. Then you would be beaten back when hid reinforcements arrived. Or even if you slowly crept ahead, jumping from tactical position to the next until you realized you were far from safety.

    Btw, I want a return of the diluge of experienced troops if you send them home for reinforcements. You should be forced to be forced to merge your experienced troops.

    Yeah, easy replacement of depleted units in RTW was a big thing that made waging war so much easier, and yet it was too tempting not to use it (for me at least). Something should be done with the retraining system to make it harder to just regrow your entire army in a turn or two: maybe something along the lines of "homelands" that one of the mods to RTW had?

    Sorry for the OT.

    Limiting the amount of replacements you can order would be nice. Say three units perhaps.
    But the amount of possible replacements were never a problem in MTW in my mind as they were after all normally green anyway (the veterans would normally only come home to be upgraded and smaller veteran forces would be in special replacement armies near the front).
    And often I merged so many forces that I didn't even have that many forces to send home for replacements. Most new troops coming as raw recruits.

    This is very much unlike RTW where I basically retrained units as often as I could and in basically any settlement.

    In Mtw, Bkb, Med, Nap, Atw or P&m I loose a lot due to umproper management of reeformcents/usage of units.
    But in Rtw seems even I, a bad commander by all means, still manage to win despite all.
    So hope MIItw will be an improvement over Mtw rather then Rtw, lol.
