I think that there was a large amount of talent in the Army of Northern Virginia..but Grant and Sherman had a huge strategic vision as well..I still consider the best campaign of the war Grant's Vicksburg campaign. If you look at th war by theatre you would notice that the victory ratio in the first...

Looks fantastic, though.. I dont mean to be a nit pick and I know it is still planning but it seems that Cairo is in the wrong state, and the wrong side of the river.

This looks great, I must say that I am dying for a good strategic civil war game, Forge of Freedom looks dissapointing and it has been ovverun in the fourms by the micromanaging types that are willing to kill overall vision for endless quibbling over details.

I see you have them resized too. Just a question, BOA does not appears in 256 colors when you play it? If so, switch your desktop settings to 16 bits colors.
