I just fired up my first April '61 campaign as the CSA. I've never played the South; never even peeked at their troops, leaders, stats, capabilities, etc. I'm exploring all my options and noticed the "Export Cotton Bales" RGD. I had a few questions:

1. If I don't use the RGD, about how often do smugglers provide the $50?
2. Is a check for a successful smuggler event made once each turn or less often?
3. Does anyone know what % chance is assigned to this event?
4. The tooltip says the cotton bales can rot at any moment. In this case do I lose all the cards at once or is the number lost random?

Thanks.

A few quick answers:

1. If you play the cotton RGD, you only get $15. If you don't you may get $50.
2. It's once a turn.
3. Don't remember exactly at the moment, think it's like 25% each turn.
4. Every time there is a "rot event", which is like 10% I think, 1 unit of cotton rots, and is removed.

Every time a unit of cotton is sold or rots, it disappears, so the number on the RGD is the number of cotton units you have left.

Jim, thanks for the info!

You can lose more than 1 cotton bale if they rot. I lost 6 in one turn in my CSA game during the first tourney round.
