Early Game Tactics:
-------------------
Sitskrieg in Boston will just let them build up troops.

Be aggressive early in attacking small formations. Personally I like 
attacking Ft Stephens and then leaving, letting the AI come back and 
retake it. The fort is easy to take and killing a 600ish garrison each 
time is not bad.

Otherwise if you think that’s a bit too cheesy, leave a really small 
garrison there and then keep troops in the town to the south, use your 
general to spot in the woods/river to the east of it, then send troops 
from the south to intercept the attackers. They tend to send them in 
800-1200 man stacks.

I also hold Portsmouth, the AI attacks from Salem often. Using those 
same woods where your General is to watch the Fort, you can send 
reinforcements across the river to intercept and destroy a lot of 
troops.

Doing this before the West opens up and you have less micro elsewhere 
I believe is key, this also will whittle down the Boston garrison to 
the point they don’t stack up and push you while you are dealing with 
the West.

Also with tech, I rep rush to Fusiliers and then Army Innovation 2 
for the dirty nasty traitor Arnold. This will let you manage both 
fronts nicely. Once you get Ticonderoga I tend to forget about the 
west, leave enough to keep the AI passive, then consolidate my 
forces and build up my Fusiliers to deal with the Boston garrison.

I love my fusiliers as well. Doing the above strat, if RNG favors 
you, provide you with Brown Bess’ and some 6lb Fields, equip your 
Fusiliers with those. But using them sparingly, I like to flank 
fire with them while Civ Musket troops just hold the line on a hold 
order.



Guide to Getting New Generals:
------------------------------
In order to gain new generals, I have made a small guide to illustrate how to get 
your second general:

Step 1: You will need to research the technology "Army Innovation II" which can 
be found in the headquarters under the Commander-in-Chief department. 
You're main character will be in charge here.

Step 2: After finishing the research, you will see in the headquarters menu that 
a plus button has shown up next to the list of your generals. Having researched 
Army Innovation II, you should only have one general (main character) and a now 
available slot.

Step 3: Press the plus button under your main character (in my case George 
Washington) and you will be able to select Benedict Arnold using left-click.

Step 4: Your new general will have appeared on the map. In my case, he spawned in 
Hartford but this is not always the case. As you can see in the top left corner 
(under the US flag), Arnold is now physically on the map and can be selected from 
there.
