I use to champeign the cause that Athena was really easy to beat playing as the CSA; the trick being just pull Washington out from under her early, this I could do so easily before the newest patch even on hard level about 50% of the time.....now maybe 20%
In my current game as the CSA on hard I am grunting it out similar to Turbos thread, and really notice that Athena, in actual fighting, just gets soooo much combat bonus I think Jackson, Longstreet, and Lee must cower in fear of union soldiers.....even with her bonuses though I control much of the west....Chicago, Springfield, and Cario......If my troops are entrenched I have a good chance of holding at appx 50 vs 50 odds....if not Im dead meat on hard level (once Athena strikes) and shudder what x-tra hard would mean.
Athena must have nerves of steel tho as even though I have made those incursions she has made the east a blood path and has invaded Tn and the deep south....she has taken Richmond, but by the same token I snuck Jackson by her once latter in the game and DID take Washington....much to my suprise the game DIDNT end, as Raf told me once this could be the case, but never saw it until now.
