I call bull excrement! Babel fish can't be that accurate!
Otherwise, wonderful story.
At the end of the day, if someone cares enough to come and post on the forums, it doesn't matter if the post is good or bad, it means that Total War is something really important to them, so I don't take it personaly.

Criticizing is not wrong, initating a witch hunt however is.
@Spycrab - read The Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy - I'm sure they're pretty accurate. Survival of the fittest and all that. If they weren't accurate they wouldn't get used.
OSWALD: This ancient ruffian, sir, whose life I have spared at suit of his gray beard,--
KENT: Thou whoreson zed! thou unnecessary letter! My lord, if you will give me leave, I will tread this unbolted villain into mortar, and daub the wall of a jakes with him. Spare my gray beard, you wagtail? - King Lear, Act II Sc. ii
Well, given that language is constantly changing, the Babel fish would have to be very adaptable to change just to survive.
I actually cannot believe I am seriously discussing this.

supply lines would make things more interesting but also really annoying, like being poked wiht a tiny needle. on the grand scheme of things, it hardly matters, but you're loosing troops nonetheless.
to answer the question, i think he would watch for a while, facepalm himself (from utter disapproval), b-splap me (for incompetence), break the computer (for failing to portray combat as it really is), and walk away shaking his head (with disappointment).
Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you can be the director of the opponent's fate.
Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.
Thus it is that in war the victorious strategist only seeks battle after the victory has been won, whereas he who is destined to defeat first fights and afterwards looks for victory.
