That's what I'm thinking as well, but I dislike making assumptions.
It wouldn't make any sense to have the US as a playable faction in the main campaign. Both for gameplay reasons (i.e., they won't appear until later in the game); and also because, quite frankly, we just weren't that important back then. (To have us as a playable faction in the main campaign would be like having one of the numerous small German principalities as a playable faction.)
Agreed on that 100% but CA must make money, if the game went onto 1900 then yes though, no argument.
I'm a little concerned that working around the politics and mechanics of the 13 Colonies as a special case will divert attention away from the 'real' Empires.
"I know that the French soldier advances to meet the British bayonet with more hesitation, I will not say trepidation, than he would meet any other enemy. The British soldier rejoices in his bayonet."
