Hi guys

Thanks for the comments.

Just a quick update.

I got a relatively new PC from Ebay and have now moved my son onto RTW 2 and he's quite happy not going back to MTW. He isn't really seeing the issues with it at the moment and is autoresolving on Easy. I'm playing the game and fighting the battles on Hard at the moment. Unsure whether it is patches or not but the battles definately last longer on Hard so give more time for manouvering. On Easy routs pretty much start as soon as contact is made.

Oddly although I really like the Roman period in Total War I tend to more play the medieval period when wargaming. I think this is because the Roman army tends to struggle in the ruleset I play whereas my Ottoman army was happily sweeping all before it.
