With the current patch, can cavalry capture cities and depots? In my current pbem campaign its early '62 and I'm expecting Forest to come into play soon and am planning to use him for some deep raiding. I cant remember though if cavalry was stopped from capturing towns and depots. Maybe it was a mod I was playing.
Thanks

you must be in control of the city/town in order to destroy the depot.

well then most of the time you have to be in control of the city.

I see the point about the gamey starts and stuff, but I wish they could start taking places in late 1862 July on or so, my reasoning behind this is the raids against Buells supply lines Forrest, Morgan, etc in real life

Any other way would have involved a huge rework of dozens if not hundreds more events and database units/models. At one time the idea was advanced to have certain cavalry leaders cancel the limitation if present. But this was never looked into any further since the original design intent was flawed and got all the debugging attention up to the last v1.15 legacy patch.
Yeah, I wonder now the reason was to stop gamey exploits I assume like quick captures of cairo and grafton to destroy depots, possibly could have just added a milita unit to those two places those were probably most frequent places that people hit. However its too late for that unless done through modding. Its okay though not much of a problem anyway. Happy holidays
