I've hear really really good things about the first game in the series (Gettysburg) and I've heard good stuff about this atm. What's your take on it?

It's a pretty fun game, I tried it out but the campaigns get annoyingly grueling. No matter how hard you win the enemy just comes back with super Veteran'd units with the best equipment, that put me off personally. Not sure if it's changed in the updates since it first came out however.

Was wondering if we were going to see a thread for this game. I've put 150 hours into it so far, it's a lot of fun. Also they need to update the steam page because they've added Fredricksburg, Stones River, Chancellorsville, and most recently Gettysburg.

Each small engagement you win before a major battle will weaken the enemy in some fashion (lessened army size, weaker overall morale, worse equipment, etc)
