I just have to share this:

When WDS took up the Panzer Campaigns series I was hoping for more, so if they really dust of the old "Civil War Battles" series it's just damned awesome!
Great News! Huzzah!  Can only hope Squad Battles gets the same attention moving forward....

For me, three main areas would benefit from attention:  AI, graphics and interface.  Game play is already solid and fun.  Definitely don't break what already works.

Although I would like to see a flexible process which could model the leadership and command control shortcomings which produced piecemeal and/or uncoordinated attacks as we saw at 2nd Bull Run or Antietam.  Fixing units only goes so far.
Well AI is what it is in most games, a tool to learn but not a tool to play against. No need to waste resources on AI when the good gaming is only achieved versus a human opponent.
Graphics, there are a lot out there, maybe they take a series like Banshees grpahic mods into the game, but again they should waste their own resources on it.
Interface, amen! So many useful things in the game like the OOB & Strength screens but most often it's a pain in the butt to use them.
