Debatable. The AoNV suffered some of its heaviest losses relative to those it inflicted on the AotP while McClellan was in command. For all the bad that McClellan did (and I'm one of those who think it was a lot), he was able, for whatever reasons, to keep the Union army in fighting form. Perhaps L...

Congrats to benway9 on a good match

I've been really busy with the move to Houston ( I just moved into my new place, and didn't get internet working until tonight), but I'll post the screenshots in my AAR as soon as I can.

Yes, but through the act of secession the southern states each individually cancelled their "contract" with the United States, and hence were no longer bound by it. They did not enter into a confederation until after the U.S. constitution no longer applied to them. That argument would seem rather s...

Yeah, initially the war was about Preserving the Union, as the Critterden-Johnson Act stated, and even Lincoln himself , as Redeemer pointed out. Later on, freeing the slaves became seen as a means to that end, since presumably, preserving slavery was a major goal of the CSA, if they ended slavery t...

Here's my take on it, speaking as an American I suppose its like with the Americans with the interest in the Napoleonic Wars, despite the U.S. playing little to no role in that conflict. If you're interested in miltiary history in a given time frame, you are going to be interested in the major confl...

For some reason the Sudden Death is broken in the main campaign. If you have every single objective, the game should end, but it doesn't, at least last time I checked.
