Considering you would be expecting an allied unit to conduct a raid your lines. It would help explain why units were refusing orders at times too.

An interesting point. At what point does pilfering supplies from a neighboring allied unit become armed robbery? At what point does foraging become raiding? It's a fine line that would surely blur over time. When excessive/deadly force is used, that line is crossed.
