Also, I've been playing the American War of Independence as the USA in
Wars in America. I withdrew Benedict Arnold from Quebec and held the line at Montreal until he was finally displaced by John Burgoyne's Canadian Army. In a series of battles over the summer, I lost around 820 men and the British around 650. The Southern front is opening up, probably because the British warships sailing past Charleston are tired of taking potshots from my forts. Lots of small 100-casualty battles, but they add up. Only big battle was between General Greene's Army of Virginia and Lord Dunmore to take Norfolk.
The real divergence in this game was the decision the British made in New England; instead of evacuating Boston and attacking New York, the British holed up in Boston and dropped off loads of German reinforcements. However, since my fortifications on the heights are interrupting their resupply route, they have consumed their reserves and are now starting to starve. Sir William Howe lead a breakout attempt and assaulted General Washington's positions:
I lost a lot of good men, including some well-trained Continentals alongside the militias (which frankly, are easy to replace). In total, Americans lost in total about 3,600 men, and the British lost about 2,900 in battle and an extra 200 in the retreat. Despite the losses, I held the field, though, so we are celebrating a major victory!
The lightning bolt in the upper left is my foreign intervention meter--if it hits 100, the French and Spanish will recognize the US and enter the war. It jumped from the low-20s to 40 following the battle.
From the games You've listed I only didn't played (yet 
I didnt got the patience for that game so I admire Your resolve enduring the learning curve for this game
