American Revolution is a sandbox strategy game featuring the epic historical period during the rebellion of the American colonies against the British Empire. Take on the role of the British or American Colonists, and fight for territorial control over North America. A gripping real-time campaign awaits you on a detailed 3d map where you can build your army and navy, construct military infrastructure, and fully command your armies on a regimental level. If you want even more action you can fully zoom-in and fight massive battles on a battalion level.
Fight in real-time on the global map with regiments and naval squadrons. Move your General to gain the tactical control of the situation in a minimal way. The presence of the General makes it possible to control the troops or ships directly on map, actively use maneuvers, cut supply routes, utilize different types of terrain and flank with cavalry. The battles can be fought with more detail and full tactical control by zooming-in further on the map.
If you choose to fight battles with full tactical control, the regiments become divided into smaller battalions allowing you the command of hundreds of units in real-time, creating a dazzling and realistic combat experience of the historical period. Troops are positioned in a landscape according to the placement they had on the map at the given time. Some will engage the enemy immediately, others can be re-positioned in deployment zones, while those which were further away may join later as reinforcements.
Realistic reconnaissance is simulated, making messages the basis of military intelligence and battle maneuvering. Messages can be delayed or be intercepted by the enemy, resulting in your orders not reaching your troops in time or rendering communication with your distant territories impossible.
Army management
You have full control over your army's composition. Available recruits are determined based on your success in battle and the loyalty of the population. Use these recruits to create divisions, brigades, and regiments. Keep your soldiers alive and they will learn to fight better, turning them from green rookies into crack veterans. Take too many casualties and you might not have enough recruits to reinforce your units and win the next battle. Lose too many battles and the population's loyalty and army morale will drop and the war will be lost.
Supply is essential
Three base supply items are needed for each unit: weapons, ammunition and food. Weapons and ammunition are provided by weapon factories. Weapons are received when a new unit is created and later these weapons can be replaced by better ones, according to availability. Ammunition consists of gunpowder, bullets and balls which are spent in battle and must be replenished for maintaining your army in a minimum fighting condition. It is also necessary to constantly supply your army with food, otherwise non-combat losses will grow and the morale of the soldiers will drop. The army can forage a territory for food but, in this case, the welfare of the region and the loyalty of population will deteriorate.
Food & other Resources
Food is produced in agricultural facilities. The more food a region produces, the larger the army it can feed. To increase food production, it is necessary to raise the agricultural level of the region. Surplus food will be stored in warehouses or sent to other regions. Mineral resources are needed to produce weapons, ammunition, and ships. Each region has different resources that can be mined. To increase production, it is necessary to develop the level of mineral resource extraction in a region.
Ammunition & weapon production
To produce weapons and ammunition, you must develop the military industry. The game has a simplified system, in which you need to build factories and shipyards. The factories are used for the production of small arms, guns, ammunition, and supply wagons. With the shipyards you build warships and supply ships.

After Boston I made the mistake of standing toe-to-toe with the British troops and took huge losses (the game even told me about my huge losses). I've started this campaign 3 times now and I know I'll do it again. May have to just restart as I've taken too many losses and I'm not short of just about everything. Have to remember to conserve your ammo (and especially troops) while in battle and not just blast away. Helps to watch others play this as there is a lot to this game. I also wish you could zoom out more. In the larger battles be nice to see all your troops besides just the little mini-map they give you.

Fusilier research is much further down in the research tree.
-
When you have one regiment selected, you can press f on the keypad and they will walk backwards away from the enemy without turning around and getting “rear flanked.”
-
Enemy flanking you was frustrating to watch happen. The mini-map was screaming at you!
-
The problem is you can't take batteries when you have battalions.If you demerge to groups, you'll be able to actually pick up the batteries.Because the logic is all those men throw down their guns.Aman.Da batteries you don't want two hundred men manning four guns

Is the Game, in its actual state, worth the price?

I think you might do better with Minutemen, why?, I looked up the difference between Minutemen and Militia and this is what I found, Militia: The Militia is a part-time army in colonial Massachusetts, responsible for defending the colonies against threats. They are organized and trained on a seasonal basis, with men serving for a few weeks or months at a time. Militia units are composed of local volunteers, often farmers, tradesmen, and other civilians who are not full-time soldiers. They are equipped with basic weapons, such as muskets and pistols, and may have limited training. Militia units are often used for local defense, skirmishing, and raids. Minutemen: The Minutemen are a specialized type of Militia unit, trained and equipped for rapid deployment and quick response to threats. Minutemen are volunteers who are selected for their exceptional marksmanship, mobility, and combat skills. They are organized into companies, with a more formal structure and training than regular Militia units. Minutemen are equipped with better weapons, such as rifles and pistols, and may have more advanced training. They are often used for rapid response, reconnaissance, and ambushes. In summary, while both the Militia and Minutemen are part of the colonial defense forces, the Militia is a more general term for the part-time army, while the Minutemen are a specialized unit with better training, equipment, and deployment capabilities.
