So my friend and I (Wraith) are playing our first game of ACW as a PBEM. I'm the noble republic and he's the rebels... We have a few questions, chief among them: How do you effectively raid? He led a raid up into IL and ended up being routed due to lack of supply and a response of infantry by me. The problem seemed to be that he ran into Salem, IL which had a garrison and his cavalry force was unable to defeat the garrison in time to get to the depot. So, my question is this:
As of the 1.16 (newest) patch, what are the general "procedures" or "do's and don't's" of effective raiding? We both want to know because I may find myself in butternut one of these days...
Thanks a head of time!
