I am playing my first game as CSA (I have already completed two as the Yanks) and I have a few naval questions from the CSA perspective:

1) How does the CSA "run" the blockade versus trying to actually sink blockading ships and reduce its impact on the CSA economy? Is "running the blockade" simply a matter of setting ships to evade posture and placing them in the blockade box? What ships make the best blockade runners .. I assume these ships must have also have transport capacity?

2) In a similar vein, is all "raiding" done in the shipping lanes? What ships make the best raiders? Is raiding worth the cost to build the ships .. is the return worth the potential losses in materiel ?

Brigs and Frigates make the best ship killing combinations.

'If' you can afford it two brigs and two frigates in the shipping box.

Put the force on evade, and put Semmes in command.

Brigs make the best blockade runners, although in theory transports SHOULD work, if no Union force is in the way.
