Historical play pays off in this game.

I copy this from a thread in the Tech section of the forum as some people considering this game may not have access to it until their purchase is registered. Gribeauval and DEB were the poster and answerer.

The gameplay stays the same : the player has a narrow path, he must be cautious with his forces, he can't buy a lot of units, he must try to control a lot of cities, he must choose to spread some forces to hold ground , he must form some field armies that are strong enough , he must conduct "la petite guerre" (small raids).
The supply can be an obstacle for a big army, the distances can be an obstacle too for the biggest forces due to the traffic penalties.
All this appears correct/reasonable.

The AI seems doing a good job. It uses all the RGD. It puts a constant pressure (attacks on big cities and small raids) on the player.
Appears correct. Good.
quote:
The FOW is important, the player can't always know where is the enemy.
Again correct. Good.
---------------
A bit more tidying up some remaining niggles and I think this will be an enjoyable game which acts as a spur to interest people in knowing more about this war.
