Nope, the feature is still there in both WinSPWW2 & MBT.
Hummm ... can't say as I've ever noticed the opposition break in WinSPMBT. Or maybe on the occasions a battle is so one-sided they do break I'm destroying them to fast for the break to be noticed.

I'm not saying this analysts was correct, merely that it was what we were taught.
