I have to say here, this is a battle between two of the greats of WW2, and when you do a battle like this, it is imperative that you go into much detail about tactics, experience, and really dig into the warriors themselves.

And no offense, but the original battle doesn't give nearly enough information about their tactics, in fact it give nothing. In the Expert's Opinion it says "They are both equal tacticians, but Douglas MacArthur's men are packing the better weapons that sealed the day.", but the problem is, again the blog says nothing about this. Using a specific battle or campaign to express this would've been a great asset, showing what advantages both sides have in battle plans (I don't want to attack the author, but I would highly suggest doin this is the future with battles like these)

I also take issue with making this a 5v5, for these commanders, were that commanders, and they're much better for more drawn out and grand strategy affairs. And i'll be the first to say EA's battle using Patton is a perfect example of how not to do this. ( Though the Eisenhower bit was pretty funny). But i've seen many a battle where his expertise on WW2 warriors has outshined that admittedly lackluster one, and shown how much he has researched his battles, and his that he is a great writer as well.

And as for any potential bias, yes it is a well known fact that EA is a massive Monty fan, hell look at his name. But even with my limited time on this wiki, it is plain to see that EA is quite dedicated to getting a battle right, and is well equipped to stick with it, even if it doesn't go towards the destroyer of the Desert Fox. And the farewell blog's whole thing on not using Monty in a losing match to me doesn't really carry any weight, as that was about 2 years ago, and honestly seemed to be more of a joke if anything ( EA can confirm this as i'm not 100 percent sure it was a joke)

I know this rematch is destined to get full and authorial support, but I wanted to get my two cents on the matter.
