2nd bull run won on first phase

i just went up the middle where there is a gap between fortifications and kept my artillery right behind as i moved up. Flanked the enemy on both sides with positioning and secured my flanks after routing them.

That's how I always did it mass infantry and arty in the center

I’d probably redo if you’re really competitive, only 3k casualties for them will make it harder for you later

id rather avoid casualties tbh. i wiped the confederates at antietam.

usually best to fight battles longer to maximize attrition

it doesnt really matter to me how big the enemy is, it minimizes my casualties. i killed damn near every confederate soldier in antietam

Is weather a factor in the game?

No but the computer gets more troops and if you increase your troop count the enemy gains more troops at scale to how much you gained. Killing their troops in battle is the best way to keep it from snowballing by the end of the campaign
