I know it is not nice to complain about AI (as it is putting up a decent fight so far), but is there a reason why it marches big stacks into the middle of nowhere at the beginning of winter (only to have them eliminated by bad weather).
I have seen several stacks run off and die this way (in Arkansas, the Desert province in the West and through Virginia, with me neatly 'closing the trap', instead of trying to engage my (well protected) front.
Another question: is it possible to see wether I sank any ships when bombarding them with coastal batteries? the AI seems to love to cruise by and take a few hits.
