I was surprised to find how easy an Apache campaign has been so far. I took captured all nearby rebel settlements and advanced east until I met the french in close to Lousiana. I brought four stacks (no onde or koitchenkos). I won all battles against the French without much trouble. I followed the advice to outnumber but before the reinforcement arrived I always found that I had won. Now I have gun infantry and cavalry and the french live on only because I have not finished them.

Economy is not a problem ever. Cheap upkeep means you can mass recruit all the time.

Maybe it will get tougher but with gunner I doubt it. Fun but very easy. The French troops are too few to be able to win. Especially braves can be very useful for breaking morale of superior troops in a critical moment.

Apache remind me of Russia in the GC. Much missile and much room to expand. The favour of deciding when to do battle is just too favourable to make you fail.
