Let's hope so.
The only problem I see is that USA is a lot about getting stuff by just clicking a button. You get wagons, bunch of units, etc. by merely selecting something. Seems more about BO crafting skills than actually playing the game mechanics.

Fairly sure Murica can easily counter Karoliner mass by spamming the "streltsy" they have.

If you have problems with the naming convention blame WickedCossack, he calls them that :P
