Most of the Civil War battles were not truly balanced: equal forces or equal commanders or some other situation that made the battle really one of equals.

Which scenarios do you find that are balanced so that two opponents of equal ability seem to have an reasonable chance of winning?

I don't have a specific nominated scenario. But I think the winning percentage stat is a persuasive reference.

Blitz forum has scenario result summary, such as WDS Gettysburg: https://www.theblitz.club/scenarios/b-1 ... &order=asc

Our DoR also has detailed scenario result records but the data seems not summarized and the winning rate is not calculated. I hope our DB can provide such a summary in the future.

Antietam has a couple scenarios titled under EF for Equal Force. These are balanced number fights.
