I have that problem with AWE, but for some reason it bothers me less than PEOPLE making decisions they would never, ever, ever (ever ever ever) make w/r/t tactics. I think because the incongruity of bad physics is less of a problem for me than the incongruity of a character I am supposed to think has X skill behaving in a way which someone with X skill/background would never, ever do.

Also with AWE I can say "Callisto has a sense of the dramatic". >.>
