mabye someone with good knowledge of the game, can make an article about the game, it's a good way to get new people intrested in the game, if they might be reading about Sid Meier's Gettysburg, and they hit a link to computer games about the ACW, and they will get a list with lots of games about the ACW, and if someone made a article about this game, it would be on the list, and you could get lots of new buyers.

We have already worked on the French version of Wikipedia:
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGEOD
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birth_of_america
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ageod%27s_American_Civil_War

Next step will be the English version! :sourcil:

Not wanting to be critical when I haven't contributed myself, but it reads very much like marketing material, especially since it has the wrong number of scenarios/campaigns that we've seen in other places?

Never! :D

BTW, has anyone considered a wiki dedicated to AACW? (A question that should not come as a surprise to those who know me from elsewhere... ;) )

Yes, it's indeed too much commercial. Feel free to edit it. :cwboy:
