I have played AACW for some time now. I decided to give myself a Christmas present. I would like some helpful hints from experienced BOA2ers. I ordered Christmas Day from France the Boxed edition. (I like having backup in case of system crash). I will mostly play as Americans at first.
If you have played AACW you shouldn't have any trouble getting into BOA2,both are great games.The only thing I would recommend is maybe start with the French and Indian war,its a little easier.
