Scenario issues.

I think there are a couple of scenarios that have some issues...

1) Pharsalus
THe Caesarian Skirmishers stand when charged by the Pompeian skirmishers. This is a big problem as they are then charged by Cav and killed. I've won this as pompey killing the skirmishers, and am now in some trouble as Caesar doing the same. The only choice for Caesar is run the Spanisih skirmshers to the other side of the map as soon as possible as them getting killed will loose the battle. I tried to play conservatively with them but not enough - you gotta run them ASAP.

2) Lake Trasimene
Has anyone won this game as the Cartho's? Easy for the Romans to turn off the river and crush the Carthaginian army. I lost my first game being aggresive as the Cartho's thinking to pin the Romans, but they turn early and as there is no PUSH backs or seeming penalty for having your back a couple hexes from the river they simply slaughter everything in front. In the second two games both myself and my opponent as the Carthos are hanging back trying to get the Romans to charge up hill. NOTE: I don't care if you have beaten an AI, I mean on Multiplayer has anyone won as the Cartho's?

The bigger ovreall issue is the Pharsalus one, as the way skirmishers are handled will be important for the long term playbility of the game. Also, I can't seem to figure why sometime a skirmisher engaged with another skirmisher will evade when a heavy charges in, or why they stand......

I think a simple right click on each skirmisher allowing the player to give a STAND or SKIRMISH order would be a simple way to fix this problem.

This puzzles me also.
