Is There Still a Community Here?

Hey all, I doubt anyone will remember me but I picked this gem up years ago when it first came out and when the variouis expansions were just a glint in Norbs eye. Back then it was almost like a beta! I'm glad to see it has expanded so much over the last few years.
Anyway, I remember how much fun Garniers mod was in MP, with the persistent divisions and veterancy it was very, very cool and no other game did I have such a real emotional attachment to my regiments. I remember once in a battle over the island I was in the center of the line and I saw a blue belly regiment start to waver and so I forced 3 regiments across the creek and up the hill to break the blue regiment, tear open the line and win us the battle. Unfortunately it cost me 55% casualties to my two best regiments and basically reset them to green. It was bittersweet victory indeed.
So I was thinking about coming back to the game, but 80 bucks a pretty stiff investment for me right now for a game. So I wanted to hit the community up first and ask if the MP community is still active. About how many games are played a month, typical times, etc?
Thanks guys,
TSM
