Really enjoying it.
I've been playing some of the shorter campaigns to practice how to play and manage my forces without the stress and greater field of one of the grand campaigns. In particular, I've focused on the American side of the 1775 Canadian Invasion campaign, since it:
* Is really short (just a couple of months)
* Presents an interesting historical "what-if?"
* Involves the careful management of limited, generally low-quality forces
* Heavily involves the logistic system and weather concerns
* and pits you against a stronger opponent.
However, I haven't managed to gain a victory (a proper objectives victory) yet. This is perhaps not too surprising given my level of experience and skill, but I have tried it a fairly large number of times (it is quite short after all). It's pretty easy to capture Montreal, and I did manage to get a couple of victories on points after that, but moving past that to Quebec is rather more difficult. Arnold's forces seem to inevitably waste away in the winter, the British forces originally stationed in Montreal seem to have no trouble retreating and harassing you, and the forces stationed in Quebec constantly threaten your hold on Montreal and the surrounding areas if you move your forces out.
So, I wonder if anyone here has done it? If so, how did you win? Especially, how did you deal with the defenders of Montreal, and what did you do with Arnold?
