On this note, the advantage goes to MTW because you get a choice. If you want the battle to go faster, you can adjust the slider bar to speed up the action. RTW did not give you the option to slow it down, so you were stuck with the 2 minute clickfest. I will give CA the benefit of the doubt here, I can imagine problems with controlled 3D graphics and animations. But the ability to choose the battle pace is nice in MTW.
