Which campaign to start???

[ERA101]

I'm new to this game, just finished tutorials.

What I should do next to learn the game?
Which scenario or campaign and which side?

I would say try the main campaign for a few turns and just mess around with it - play both sides, try various attacks, sieges etc and get a feel for the results. When you have a feel for the combat results and supply effects dive into the main campaign - even start a PBEM
(you know you want to).

Shiloh short scenario is interesting, with quite a lot of troops but small enough to not be too difficult.
I woudl recommend playing it with both sides for a couple of times.
Then, the april 1861 campaign with the CSA to taste the real thing.
But be prepared to restart quite a few times Its what everybody does
If you prefer smaller scenarios and intermediate campaigns check the excellent Bigus scenario pack.
You can download them from here

Arsan's suggestion is good. Also, suggest Western Scenario. t
