This is the ONLY game I want.

When do pre-orders begin then? Don't say day before release :D .


The demo link says mid-May, so probably about then. So I would guess in the next week or so.

And yes, AACW could use serious tweaking up of the casualty rate, particularly as we have so many generals in that game. For a future AACW-II I'd also expect the modifiers to be in there (men like McCulloch would then be more likely to die but boost their troops morale). Though in that war at least...

The game doesn't come out for a few months, and is still very much in development. That said, I can't imagine that they won't release a demo within the month or so before the release (June 7).

I obviously can't answer the question, but you should try ACW again, there are a large amount of units, but it is easier because most of them are fed in gradually rather than large amounts at the start and also the organization of the armies makes it better to have larger, more coherent stacks rathe...

And as for Light Infantry, they are something else apart.

Yep, Alachua, FL. The town on the map, Newnansville, doesn't exist anymore though (We've got Newnans lake though.) For that matter, I wonder why it was put there. Wiki says that though it was the county seat until 1854, by the civil war all county functions had already been moved to Gainesville.
