1775 (alt) Scenario

I'm not sure if this has been asked yet, but...what exactly is the difference between the 1775 Campaign Scenario, and the 1775 (alt) Campaign Scenario?

In the 1775 (alt) campaign, we have included a different at start setup for the British and American forces around Boston in may 1775. The (alt) setup is as close as possible to the real order of battle taken from history books, for both sides. In game terms, the number of units for both sides has been multiplied by two (grossly), although each unit is now understrength (to reflect the actual number of men in the regiments present).

In our opinion, it slightly unbalances the game (in particular because those forces are under-commanded now, because too many regiments compared to available leaders), but this was done for fans who wanted to "see" what the game would do with an initial setup close to reality [;)]
