I am returning to BoA after an absence and playing a FIW campaign. My masterplan for the British is working perfectly, as I've captured Fort Duquesne, Fort Leboeuf and Fort Niagara, held on to Albany and Fort George, and isolated the French at Louisbourg. Things are going great!
Except that while I was off marching through the wilderness, the French slipped down the Connecticut Valley and now hold Hartford, New Haven and Providence and have Boston under seige and a giant fleet with reinforcements headed for their new New England (New France?) ports! Yikes!
The AI in 1.09 is very stout. Good job!
