[INDENT]Long blown-out explanation of why[/INDENT]
I've had some really bad experiences over the years with units building in the wrong place at the wrong time. One of the most recent was as the CSA. I executed my winterly tax-return build and requested a slew of units in Kentucky, of which only Louisville, Lexington and Clarksburg did not belong to me. And as fate would have it, in Prestonburg, way off in the corner and cutoff from the rest of world by mountains and winter weather got the most units dropped onto it; 3 of those big fat 5 element brigades.
No sooner said than they and the garrison were unsupplied and taking hits. And since a unit being built isn't finished until each of its regiments and batteries have reached their full compliment, they just wouldn't complete training so that I could finally move them away.
After building a supply train just for Prestonburg training grounds (it took 3 or 4 turns turns to get it there too) i finally got two of the new brigades out, but by the time they hit civilization they were pretty beaten up and darn low on cohesion.
The third unit had the bad luck of being the victim of a early spring storm, and by the time they reached civilization there was little left of them but a few raggedy uniforms filled with scarecrow figures.
Considering the additional cost of a supply train on top of the purchase costs, plus all the replacement conscripts that went into trying to fill the ranks of starving Johnnies and then refilling the ranks when they finally got out of that wintry hell-hole, those were certainly the most expensive units I've ever raised
