As far as a RTW campaign goes, I would opt for H/H. The AI gets a few advantages but nothing too significant. Both on the battlefield and the campaign map you should outwit it easy anyway. I tend to opt for VH campaigns, but sometimes the AI seems to get a little bit too much help which can be annoying. I tend to steer clear of VH battles though. Not because I'm afraid I'll lose, it's just annoying when you match up your armies and find your superior troops panic and run away far too soon against a weaker enemy and there was no way of foreseeing it - well unless you get used to it happening a few times. This happens on H too, but to a lesser degree.
Well, I started up that EB campaign that I was talking about and EB recommends going with VH/M so I did just that. I went with the Romani just because it's my first EB campaign and because EB's perspective on the Romans is just fantastic...very realistic. Only gone through maybe 3 or 4 turns, no battles yet although I did face off with Epirote forces in the field (they were besieging a city...they're already trying to run small raids up into my lands) but they simply retreated before either of the two Roman armies could reach their position.

Bottom line? I again have to say that I appreciate the responses and that after playing for a few hours last night, it turns out that this is the PERFECT carry over until next month for me. I never played EB in the past and with it applied to RTW, it's like a whole new game.

I'll work on that introductory letter asap...

Thanks guys...
