[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 6348412, member: 996"] Maybe I'm overly cynical & suffering from Post-Traumatic-Edition-War-Disorder, (OK, there is no 'maybe'), but right in the original thread, Daztur came right out and said he was trying to explain the edition war divide. So, CaW is not a really style being analyzed, so much as one being created to require things perceived as absent from 4e, and be badly hampered by other things perceived to be present in it (and vice-versa for 3e). Maybe, if approached from another angle, CaW /would/ have included the meticulous-execution phase of a plan (including dealing with the unexpected), rather than 'needing' to quickly blow through the forgone-conclusion combat at the end. But, to make it less 'supported by' 4e, it had to require 'fast combats.' Because 'slow combat' was one of the more-nearly-validcriticisms leveled against 4e at the time (that is, entirely valid only if you discounted the possibility of /ever/ stepping outside the encounter /guidelines/).
