I am playing as the British, Baris as the rebels.
The options to influence France that the British get to try and keep them out of the war come as freebies. I think they are meant to cost 20EP, I have had the option appear twice and neither time did the cost of EPs get subtracted from my total. (Sorry no save available, first time I wasn't sure, second time I forgot when it was......)
The two regions of Black Swamp ID465 and Blackmingo ID466 are both shown as having roads on them but the tooltip for each region says only track.
What looks like a major problem for the USA is the upgrading of all troops to light infantry. This can't be WAD can it? Baris has ended up with a stack under Washington which is mainly light infantry, no good in clear terrain against my redcoats. He gets very few replacements for these during the game but has several elite replacements which are now useless....
