Restart game after patches?

[kjchan]

Dumb question - I haven't logged in my game in a while and I see that the .72 patch came out.  Will my saved campaigns reflect the new changes (I'm most interested in looking at the dynamic campaign change), or do I have to start a brand new game?

they will, My confed campaign did. but i restarted just to get the full benefit as i was already at 2nd Manassas on that campaign and had really taken a beating at the battles before

I did the same, restarted my Union campaign and it is better as you can see the effects on weapons and manpower on the confederates after the results of a previous battle, especially if you win the previous battle soundly.
