I'm in agreement with Six in many issues he points out in his review, especially the core rule and the concept of balance. I think I'm just not the *liked mind* gamers that the Tactics Mod aims at to begin with. I'm a RPGer rather than a Battle-Gamer. I tried the Tactics because after several runs through SoA/ToB, many of the battles indeed seem too easy. Yet, after trying out the Tactics, I prefer the idea of *avoid using cheese to battle* rather than *resorting to chesse in the cheesed-up Tactic battles.* From a not liked mind gamer's perspective, I feel that the Mod is to justify cheese in the game. We can always choose NOT to use cheese in the game. I don't think any seasoned BG players will have any problem going through the standard SoA without Cloak of Mirroring.

My personal wish (as a gamer who's not the traget user of the Tactics type of mod)though is to have a different SoA final battle mod. The standard final battle is indeed too easy, quite a let down in the end of an epic adventure. But I feel that the Improved final battle is way too difficult for average gamers (= Me:p). Something in between will be nice.
