Pillage is a beautiful thing out west, especially as the CSA. If the Federals advance forces into Misery, just send a raider to pillage everything in front of them, and a partisan to drop the rail wrecking card behind them. They'll retire quickly, and if you're playing a person, may demonstrate the ability to learn from mistakes by coming back inside a cav/militia cloud.
It's even more effective in the territories, and I've had games where I've burnt down every region west of the Red River.
