So far I have thoroughly enjoyed all the games in both the British and American campaigns, one game Valcour island, for some strange reason I just cannot get into, can't put the finger on it as to why, funnily enough I had one game in the ultimate General Civil war which I was less enthusiastic than the others, (to be honest to find only one that not as enjoyable as the others is a bonus with some of today's games), this in no way detracts from a great game overall and I think you certainly get more than your monies worth with Ultimate Admiral than quite a lot of other games on the market. personally I would have maybe preferred that Valcour Island was a side mission (but again that is my choice) , which I suppose raises the real question/point I would like to raise is, if a choice was available, would anyone else have a preference to swapping any of the main missions and replacing them with some of the side missions. it all comes down to what you like I suppose, I have found some of the side missions more enjoyable. Another point I suppose that any feed back to the developers may assist with future extensions or full games. Discussion is always progress.
