1] Mainly does it seem 50-50 on who wins by either victory points or NM? if fought by even players
2] and does the balance reflect historically the capabilities of both sides
thanks.
I've played a handful of complete games as the union. Above Sargent, the AI builds a lot of troops. Combined with their leaders it makes for a challenging game. So far it seems to play out a lot like the war. Build up, grind them down, win in the west.
I haven't seen the confederacy have any chance of winning automatically, but they have come close to winning on points at expiration of the game.
