Cut Scenes

[Sequester]

First I want to say that I enjoy this game very much and do not regret a single cent spent on it. Im currently playing the Union campaign on easy.

Still I would like to suggest something that makes the battles more realistic from a roleplay point of view. There has to be a point to some of the objectives and some setups don't make sense.

For example I was doing pretty good on the first day of Shiloh. Contrary to what the text said I was holding all my points and was wearing down the enemy quite good. I would have held out and mopped the floor with the confederate soldiers with the reinforcements from the second day. Instead I was placed in the Landing although there was hardly anyone left to attack me there. I would have preferred to stay in field and be reinforced there. Alternatively It could have been explained by to play a cut scene where night falls on the battlefield and my army securely retreats to the landing.

Then last night I just barely won Gaines Mill in the third attempt. Although it doesn't make much sense the key to victory was to abandon the defenses and take a last stand on the hill. When there was only half an hour left on the clock I made a desperate all out attempt and went for the lost victory point at the stockade securing it and clinging to it for another ten minutes. I was quite happy with the result but is seemed a bit off. I mean I would have lost the entire map within the next hour in that situation. So why did the battle end then and I was the victor? Again there could be something like a cut scene where night falls and the confederate soldiers fall back and abandon the attack.

What do you think?
