RR movement in enemy territory

Post by GIJim »

In my opinion, I've found a glitch in the game. My opponent is able to move entire divisions by railroad in my territory. I'm the Confederate, of course. This is very unrealistic and didn't happen at anytime during the war. I know a handful of Union raiders commandered a train in Georgia and ran willy nilly before being captured but an entire division/corps appears totally unrealistic. Because of the use of telegraph communications and the fact that two men with a crowbar could disable a RR track at will this is not a realistic occurance. I'd like to know what others think.
I mean, Forrest commandered a Union riverboat and ran up and down the Tennessee River blowing up bridges and transports but this was the exception and shouldn't be a rule during the game.

Go home to the South and guard your railroads! [:D]

Seriously, I agree, it makes no sense at all.

All the Best
