Yes, I knew that - that's why I said they did not "really" affect the gameplay. The animations did have in-game effects, but not ones that really affected your tactics. Apparently animations in RTW already affect combat results - QwertyMDX has posted in the EB forums about how just modding the stats is not the only thing you need to consider when balancing the units. But just as most of us did not notice that with vanilla RTW, hopefully we'll be similarly oblivious in M2TW.
