Just bought the game yesterday

I have got to say, the gameplay is great. Team did a great job in that respect. Already played Buford and Meredith. But I have one MAJOR complaint.
There are no scenarios to play as the Union I corps on Day 1, or the XI on Day 1, or play the entire Day 2 battle (Peach Orchard, Wheatfield, Devils Den, Round Top) from either side. This was the entire reason I bought the game, to play the battle on a larger scale, not to play as the Iron Brigade for just 30 minutes. To me, the real enjoyment comes from trying to see if you could do a better job than Howard did against Rodes and Early, not just playing for 30 minutes to capture and hold a checkpoint in McPherson's Woods.
I know nothing about modding, but is it possible to mod these scenarios? If so, is it far too advanced for someone who just plays pc games, rather than creates them?
I know the team put a ton of hard work and time into the game, and I don't want to seem to critical of their efforts because the final product is fantastic, but I was looking forward to playing the larger scenarios involving several corps, similar to TCM2, and am very disappointed that opportunity doesn't exist.
