One major annoyance is the the games lack of consideration of prisoners taken in the battle summation. Game does take into consideration when the entire opposing force is captured or has deserted but one sole surving unit prevents this. Also high on the list is taking Sherman as prisoner , for instance, in one battle and then facing him again in the very next battle in the campaign mode. All in all though the game is a worthwhile investment and enjoyable to all who are interested in the Civil War. After the first few games I exercised the no video option to speed things up.
Sound is excellent and the games options allows full controll.
On the surface, I belived it to be frighteningly simple, and I figured it wasn't going to last long my hard drive. I have never been so happy about being so wrong about a game. CWG2 has a fightening amount of depth, replay value, and content. Once combined with a great campaign model, decent AI, and multiplyer support, this game becomes a strategy great, and a must have for any Civil War enthusiast. Special mention has to be made of the game's excellent documentation, and CD Encyclopedia.
