My current game is the first one where as the USA I have faced a deliberate Confederate strategy of razing level 1 structures. This prompts a couple of observations.
1. Shouldn't there be an opportunity to rebuild the demolished structure if the owner wants to do so at a cost of economic points and/or through the use of a dedicated regional decision card.
2. I understand that there is no penalty for this activity other than loss of revenue for the owner. If so shouldn't there be one for the perpetrator especially during the early part of the war when such a deliberate strategy would have outraged the civilian populace. Frankly the adoption of this approach as early as 1861 seems totally wrong as it is better suited to the tendency towards more total war from the emancipation declaration or even 1864 onwards. To reflect this how about a boost to the USA morale (or CSA if they are subject to it) to reflect x number of structures razed and also perhaps a appropriate impact on foreign entry , with such a penalty being scaled back as the war progresses until there is no effect in 1864 and 1865.
