What would you guys think of a combat system, where commanders and troops are scripted beforehand, but the actual battle would happen real-time. i.e. troops wold act simultaneously.

There was some work made in this direction for a while, but it was abandoned. The nice thing about it is that you could be able to assign different speed values to different actions, perhaps make some weapons slower, certain spells slower to cast etc.
