I think that I had a blast after playing around with the demo a few times. I'm not too sure because of some odd moments that left me scratching my head, but getting a mess of new troops in early 76 left me feeling like I should buy the game so I could actually use them.
I focused on the Brits a lot more than the American force, but I've got a few questions that I was wondering if anyone could answer.
First off, is there a way to beat the super-stack that is Washington's force? He's actually forced me out of Boston before, and I'm sure that he's smarter than I thought, usually waiting in the fog until I split my force to go do whatever before wiping me out.
Second, some of the timing seems odd, in both combat and events. First with events, I'm left wondering if they are a little loose, because Howe comes in a bit randomly as does the Canadian army. Is that supposed to happen? And when it comes to combat, I'm seeing things that I never say in ACW. A force attacking me will enter the region, get beat and back off, then come back in again and again to attack. Is that a new feature?
Anyways, I'll probably pick this up within the week. Good game y'all.
