Oh, and I use timed battles, too. I don't want to fall foul of crappy AI sittnig there, doing nothing ad infinitum.
I've always left the time limit there, just to make it harder for me.

But guess what I discovered? In MTW2 it's practically a failsafe for passive problems.

I've taken to auto-resolving most battles that are clear-cut wins just to avoid bugs, crappy charges, etc.
