Its all very cinematic, but ridiculous from a tactical viewpoint - just like their charge down a 45 degree scree slope onto pikes at the end of TT.

Was too annoyed with the change - the horns should have blown and the charge started. Not sure how that all works cinematically, but at least it would make some sense - what a moment! I was talking about sense and PJ...forget that I even brought it up.
What is even more annoying is that I remember some pundit or reviewer talk about PJ's understanding of 'battle' and how he strived to make it (tactically?) real.
