What should be fixed first above alll others?

[Budwise]

The basic mechanics of combat (charge, hit, miss, pursue, etc), are the core of the game. If the fundamentals aren't working, there's no sense slapping lipstick on that bimbo and sending her onto the street with a fancy campaign map and a bejillion unit types.

I guess you could put lipstick on a pig but its still a pig. Would explain how I was conceived though.
