I completely agree with this.
Advance/retreat 10 paces requires no targeting and attention to issue. I can just spam it quickly. I typically lead the calvery in battle so i'm not sitting behind the lines commanding. Sometimes stopping to target a location with f1 f1 can be life or death for me with this game's archers.
Yah. I really believe they haven't finished it because there is no way it can worse than Warband.
