M2TW, does anyone like the original better

TREACHERY AND PERFIDY! Well I'm glad to see you're liking the newer games King Kurt. Personally I could never get into RTW or M2TW - though I prefer even RTW to the latter. In my case the battles are the big game breaker.

About the movement issue; that's a valid point but I believe that a balance between the two would have been better. In MTW this was one of the big flaws along with the 1 year per turn system, which meant that some armies could jump from Scotland to Egypt in a single turn - literally this is fine as 1 year = 1 turn but in gameplay terms it's bad. Though with RTW it was painful walking your agents/army stacks bit by bit from i.e. western Anatolia to southern Egypt.
