I read today the review of AGEOD ACW on wargamer.com

And had a gasp reading "the consensus about the most recent grand-scale Civil War title, Forge of Freedom, seems to have been just that; it was another "noble failure." And the primary reason was because the emotional power of the subject � that old tingle-down-the-spine factor � as cumulatively suffocated by a mass of detail so daunting that absorbing all its well-intentioned pedantry left most players too numb to give a damn WHO won the Battle of Bumbershoot, Tennessee, once they reached the combat stage....

I have no problem to consider ACW as a very good game, but this opinion (certainly not consensual) about FOF is a shock for me.

EDIT : i did not see there already was a thread about it. Feel free to delete if necessary.

Yes, already discussed here and at Wargamer. Thanks for your thoughts though, locking this one up.
