I have noticed at least two of my Union generals have had their Strategic Rating (at least, maybe others) fluctuate during the game. None of them have been promoted or had anything else significant change. Right now William b. Franklin, who is in charge of a Union Corps and is supposed to be 3-1-1, is currently 1-1-1. I noticed the same thing with A. Whipple; in fact Franklin took command of the Corps because I noticed Whipple's Strat. Rating was only 1.
What am I missing here? What causes generals' ratings (specifically their Strat.) to decrease?
