Confederate Campaign -- Kinda Impossible
KaleRaven replied to Lazamataz's topic in General Discussions
My strategy was to send half my army (basically the entire 2nd Corps) around the right side of the map across the bridges and fords. The crossings were minimally defended, so I was able to launch a full on assault against the rear of the Union army. It was only once the enemy began pulling some of the troops from the front to face my flanking troops, that I then launched a full frontal assault with my 1st Corps. I ended up winning with only 7.5k casualties.

Nice Fredericksburg pic... talk about a massed assault. With the AI troops all strung out along the defensive line, its not hard for the player to pick a point and throw everything they have at it. Perhaps there needs to be more splash damage to reduce unit stacking.

There were several times I wanted to shrink brigades for one reason or another. +1, and it shouldn't be too difficult to implement.

The AI really needs to learn when to withdraw. It just feels stupid when they keep flinging depleted brigades at you.

When I played this battle during my initial normal difficulty Union campaign, I won the battle during the first stage also. I pushed across the river with artillery and overwhelmed the Confederate left, then rolled up the line. I think Koro's idea to stagger reforcement is a good one.
