Salty Sails Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 (edited) hey guys... first i have to say, i m from germany and 35 years old and such a huge fan from the civil war history. I love this game, since i played gettysburg. Now my question or suggestion... i would like to dispatch some men from my 750 men cavalry. I dont like to scout with 750 men... 75-100 dispatched scouts from my unit would be amazing! thx Sepp Stuart Edited November 27, 2016 by Sepp Stuart 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koro Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 That's a really good idea actually. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincolns Mullet Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 The function already exists with infantry, so it doesn't seem too difficult to add that option? Devs would know more! Yes, great idea. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitorishizuka Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 FWIW, I think it's probably better to scout with 750 men anyway. Yes, they're more at risk if you weren't paying attention, but on trade they're more able to take advantage of unguarded artillery or a weak retreating unit than just a scout cavalry group. (Also cavalry should always be paired with detached skirmishers to bullet shield for them anyway but that's a separate thing.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even so, its a choice that you could make to get a smaller scouting party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that depends on the map and amount of cav I have free at any given moment. The ability to double my los scouting would be very useful in certain circumstances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a lot easier to hide a hundred horses than 750. Edited January 5, 2017 by Andre Bolkonsky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
