Hmmm, seems to me I said all this a couple of days ago, so you know that I agree. Actually I played a fine game of MTW:VI the other night. And my cav worked great, my huscarles were fearsome and I had a really fun time.

I think a lot of the difference for me is that in order to fight battles at all effectively in M2, I have to pause all the time. I hating pausing! It breaks the flow up. But without it I can never control my units, they go willy nilly all over the bloody place. That is what drives me nuts about the game right now. In the end I expect CA will get the game working pretty well, but till then...
