There is much that could be enhanced in the tac engine. I could probably write an essay on the matter.

I actually don't think it's so bad, aside from the inability to model flanking. The only other things that are grossly off are your troop type match ups -- which could be easily fixed.

Most obvious examples:
1) Pike/Spear vs. Cavalry (and flying?)
2) Elephants vs. Light Infantry
3) Missiles vs. Light Infantry
4) Light Cavalry vs. anything

1 & 2 could be addressed with Morningstar style attack/defense bonuses.

2 & 3 could be helped by allowing LI to spread out to 1 unit per "square".

4 is more complicated, and would take the addition of "shoot and avoid", and "shoot then attack" orders.
