Csa saboteurs

[havi]

Just read an article of csa saboteurs and their effects of war, they south parlament made up this troops in 63. They made up this one kind of coal bomb what then they had this agent to transfers this coal bombs to union river fleets and when this bomb was thrown in the Owen the ships steam engine blowed up and chain reaction but the ship out of order. Ther isn't much documents left of these troops because before Richmond falled thei burnt everything but in Missouri union did get some documents and in 64 there was 70union ships what dunked and the saboteurs sank 61 of those so they where quite effective.

There is a story about those in Foote's volume that I find fascinating. The idea was that the bomb looked like a lump of coal. It always reminds me how terrible war is (and was).

Yes it was made look like a lumb of coal so nobody excpet it, when union soldiers got to the Jefferson office they found one of these bombs in his working desk. So I want these saboteurs in the game maybe in RGD card! Oh and these saboteurs had permission only to work in occupation areas of south they didn't have permission to go up north.

I think if they were caught, they were hanged as spies. Thus they wouldn't want to go north where they could more easily get caught. It would be an interesting RGD, would it damage WS or ships? Right now, there is a similar card for destroying depots and the spy card and partisan card isn't too dissimilar, either.

CSA parliament gave order that saboteurs can work only in occupated area, but they tried to instigate revolts in New York after Lincoln where re-elected in 64. I think there would be rgd that if u had partisan in the area where fleet is they can saboteur the fleet and it's cohesion. It would as the spice in the game and these saboteurs where pretty effective in RL too.
