Game crashes on battle start

[PersonMcPerson]

I'm playing the US Campaign, and am currently on the phase where I have to capture Fort Ticonderoga. I'm attempting to capture Saratoga right now, and I fought a small engagement outside the fort a-ok. However, when I try to fight the fort battle itself, my game just crashes. I can't let it play out on the campaign map either, as I invariably lose that way.

My graphics and display are on the lowest setting, though my video card apparently doesn't match the requirements(which i don't get - I can run Age of Sail mostly fine, a bit jittery but it never crashes - what's different about this game?)

Update: I managed to take Saratoga on the map, and am now attacking Ticonderoga, and... this one loaded? With even more men engaged? Is it just a problem with Saratoga?

Greetings General, the case is under investigation
