An enemy raiding force is allowed to advance instead of being hunted through woodland. Its raids will create repair costs and may reach a chapel school, but the forest suits its ambush troops better than the ground farther inside British territory. Waiting trades local damage for a better chance to fight the army on favorable ground. The decision uses tactical patience to deny the raiders their preferred terrain.

Drawing raiders out of woodland before fighting
Local raid damage is accepted so an enemy force leaves woodland suited to ambushes and advances onto less favorable ground.
