re: patrols

I normally assign about 50%+5 of my thanes to patrols (frex, 12 out of 14, 17 out of 25). I typically have about 60% on outer patrol, since I consider not getting warning of the raid far worse than the chance that the outer patrol can't all make it. Besides which, later in the game, with various magical aids in place, when we spot patrols it seems that all my thanes make it to the fight--I guess this means they were spotted immediately and we have lots of time to react?

re: avoiding enemy patrols on cattle raids

there is at least one magic item that helps you avoid the enemy, or words to that effect, but whether that helps you avoid patrols initially, or to succesfully use the evade combat option I'm not sure.
