There is no doubt that in CW2, as in life, Stonewall Jackson is a very gifted tactical commander and key to winning offensive battles. But, I find that almost every time he leads in battle, win or lose, Southern casualties skyrocket and divisions under his command are wrecked.
I understand that winning an offensive battle in CW2 is the hardest part of the game to master, and I also confess I struggle with a strong preference for the defense.
The end result is I tend to shy away from Jackson and reach for other commanders like Longstreet, entrenched in good ground, in an attempt to limit my causalities and increase my chances of winning.
Does anyone else have this problem with Old Blue Eyes?
Has anyone found a way to use Jackson in making omelets without breaking too many eggs or trashing the kitchen?
