Battles

There are 38 battles in each Playable Factions Campaign, split into 13 Grand battles that must be fought and 25 Minor battles that are optional.

Grand Battles
Grand Battles are larger, longer and tougher than Minor Battles. Both Factions will face the same Grand Battles, though their starting locations and objectives differ. In addition, after each Grand Battle, the Shop in the Armory, the Academy in the Barracks and the available Reputation Purchases reset and update. Purchased Weapons and Leaders are saved and not reset, so it is important to purchase from those places before beginning each Grand Battle.

Each grand battle also awards Gold and Men after the battle, with the most for a Win, less for a Draw and the least for a Defeat. Reputation is also modified after the battle, with awards for Wins and Draws and penalties for Defeats.

 * Battle of Washington (Confederates final campaign battle)

Minor Battles
Minor Battles are optional, except for the Battle of Salem Church, which is a part of the Chancellorsville Grand Battle, and the Union minor battle of Fort Stevens, which is a part of the Cold Harbor Grand Battle. However, winning minor battles will often modify Grand Battles, doing things like reducing the size of the opposing army or reducing the training level of the opposing army.

Each minor battle also awards Gold and Men after the battle, with the most for a Win, less for a Draw and the least for a Defeat. Reputation is also modified after the battle, with awards for Wins and penalties for Draws and Defeats.
