Anything but a 6
224 9/25/2023 6:26:00 AM Fall 1862 Union Message Of course re: Paducah :-)

The 3 SP go to Frederick with their last MP. You can intercept and resolve if successful.
223 9/24/2023 9:47:00 PM Fall 1862 Confederate Message and Paducah should be n5
222 9/24/2023 9:41:00 PM Fall 1862 Confederate Message no intercept
221 9/24/2023 8:55:00 PM Fall 1862 Union Message Scratch that, I'll send 3 for a full division move to Gettysburg (n2 in Pittsburgh).

So, to you for the decision before my possible last MP.
220 9/24/2023 8:51:00 PM Fall 1862 Union Message Move #2:

1 SP from Pittsburg (4):

1-4) Gettysburg

Intercept?
219 9/24/2023 8:46:00 PM Fall 1862 Union Message Thank you for the generous offer - I will take you up on that. Looks like we both have made some map errors in this one.

Rosie, Pope n6 in Paducah
Beau n2 in Columbus

Also Lebanon should be 4, not 5 after SR
218 9/24/2023 8:33:00 PM Fall 1862 Confederate Message Paduch should have started with 5, as last was attrition in msg 197. Redo second activation? 5:2 would have only been +1 for US.

Conduct up to two moves or conduct one special army-size naval move. No SP, general, or army marker may be moved twice with the same campaign card. You must move a different force each move.

Message from Union:
OK, let's see if this is the best decision.

Move #1 - activate AoC in Fredericksburg (6):

1-3) Convert Strasburg
4-5) Convert Manassas and stop

Move #2 - Rosie takes Pope and 6 and takes another shot at Columbus, KY

213 9/21/2023 12:06:00 AM Fall 1862 Confederate Message don't know where that one came from...

Take one from AoW in Shreveport (3) instead
212 9/18/2023 11:42:00 AM Fall 1862 Union Message All good except I had 1 in Charleston, not 2. Did you mean to take those from Marion or some other space?

207 9/17/2023 8:20:00 PM Fall 1862 Confederate Message Sorry Fred!

Yes, been extremely busy with work and getting ready to move/relocate (and wife's bday this week). Been trying to progress my ladder/tournament games, but unfortunately ignoring some others. I'm hoping to get back to a more 'normal' routine soon.
206 9/16/2023 8:16:00 AM Fall 1862 Union Message Hey Michael:

No biggie if you’re busy, just checking in to make sure all is well.
205 9/12/2023 9:49:00 PM Fall 1862 Union Message Disregard that, my brain is wonky tonight. It was a small battle, and even so you were attacking with 4...
204 9/12/2023 9:43:00 PM Fall 1862 Union Message By the way...

>> I suppose I should have gone for Annapolis instead of converting Frederick, but oh well<<

If you didn't convert Frederick you would attack Baltimore OOS, which runs the very small risk of destroying your army if I would have rolled a 6. I'm not sure the risk was worth it.

200 9/12/2023 6:29:00 AM Summer 1862 Union Message Yep, sometimes a single card and die roll can completely change the game. I can't say I did anything wrong, as you said. But nice to see you get the luck and hopefully we will even see the rare long game, which I truly love.

Activate AoC in Frederick, drop 1 SP in the fort (14):

1-2) convert Manassas
3) Fredericksburg

Do you intercept? If not I'll convert Fredericksburg and attack. You can pick your general DRMs and roll the battle. I'll only have +1 for Stoneman.

183 9/10/2023 10:03:00 PM Summer 1862 Union Message >>don't you get the control marker when you win the battle?<<

Nope, only Farragut gives you that. Remember only armies can place control markers unless you spend an OPs card to place. This is a common misunderstood rule for AAs.
182 9/10/2023 10:02:00 PM Summer 1862 Union Message Sorry, thought it would tell you. My discard was Foreign Intervention so we have a reshuffle

178 9/10/2023 9:57:00 PM Summer 1862 Confederate Play Strategy card as Event #3: 1 / Forward to Richmond
Union may activate any Union army within 4 spaces of Richmond, VA. The army must enter Richmond or move as close to Richmond as possible, but may convert spaces to maintain an LOC. All SPs associated with the army must be moved (no dropping off SPs), except 1 SP may be left if the Army began its movement from a fort (if last SP, move completed). If played by the Confederate, he draws a card from the Union hand which is discarded, and the Union player follows the instructions of this card as his next card play.
