Looking good. I am surprised that the Yankees didn't take out Richmond.
Oh well, maybe next month. :D

I thought the AI was Athena, not Joshua. Or does Athena, too, not know what futility is?

great read, lots of shifts in terms of dominance, especially at the end of 1861. Interesting to see that if the Confederates divert the resources for a long war, they run the risk of losing it in the short term

Man has no trouble at all getting victories in the field. Seems like a cake walk for him to me.
