Actually, I have no trouble with the way the TW games decide to model their warfare. The only thing I have against it is that - like with the "wonderful" programs on History Channel - lots of people think they are actually learning something about history from playing the game(s). Helpfully encouraged by both the games PR, and gaming reviewers whose knowledge of history is usually garnered from the aforementioned History Channel programs.<br>

Ignorance of history is bad, IMO (the old maxim: He who is ignorant of the past is doomed to repeat it is very true). People thinking they know something about history when in fact they know nothing ... irritates me immensely. The Total War games have created lots of the latter class of people. <p>Strategy <br>
