No CSA SW loss so CSA SW returns to 82-.
264 4/19/2024 8:39:00 PM Summer 1862 Union Message It is Jackson not Lee, Jackson has a political rating of 2 and he is stacked with Beauregard whose political rating is 5. This means Beauregard would be the army commander.

"5.22 DESIGNATING THE COMMANDING GENERAL: If more than one general is present, then the one with the highest political value is the commanding general" (there are other circumstance where any leader in the stack can be promoted (e.g. Relieving generals)

210 3/30/2024 11:59:00 AM Summer 1862 Moderator Message Ok, I rule this general roll issue.

Please re-roll the general placement.
1) Announce where you want to place your generals. for exemple, if you have 4 generals : Highest to x, Lowest to Y and the 2 others to Z.
2) Roll dice for generals by alpha order
3) place generals accordingly to your dice and what you announce.

hope it's clear.

206 3/28/2024 6:06:00 AM Summer 1862 Moderator Message Hi,
First the result is correct.

Second, the way you do it is very confusing for most of the players.
Most of the players roll dice for each general and announce where they want to place it.

for exemple :
2 highest to Atlanta, 2 lowest to Richmond
it's more clear I think
205 3/27/2024 10:27:00 AM Summer 1862 Confederate Message Stephane,
Please see entry 202 and 203 and let me know what is wrong with the random assignment of the generals. If not correct, please indicated how it should be done. Thanks
204 3/27/2024 5:27:00 AM Summer 1862 Union Message I missed the die roll for Polk where he died

The fact I missed the incorrect die roll approach previously doesn't mean you get to roll it incorrectly now. Please roll them separately, for the 4 leaders (minus Polk), in accordance with the rules.

201 3/24/2024 4:32:00 PM Summer 1862 Union Message 1) See #194, you've stated Wheeler is in Nashville not Forrest, please confirm it is Forrest
2) You did not roll for Polk in #195, you need to roll 5 dice for the 5 leaders you are placing
3) Please send me the ruling. I have not played it this way in 15 years (which means none of my opponents have either). I have also mailed Stephane.
200 3/24/2024 8:32:00 AM Summer 1862 Confederate Message 1) Morgan is in McKenzie

2) See entry 177 - this should be Polk, not Pope. Polk was killed as a result of battle.

3) I am still not seeing why you did not roll to place your 2 generals. I am in another tournament game and the tournament master has ruled that all generals need to be randomly placed, not by type of cavalry vs other generals.
199 3/22/2024 9:56:00 PM Summer 1862 Union Message But Forrest is in Nashville, Wheeler is in Weldon - as per previous discussion
198 3/22/2024 9:54:00 PM Summer 1862 Union Message Yes 6SP in Nashville
197 3/22/2024 9:53:00 PM Summer 1862 Union Message I have Polk that needs to be placed as well - you need to roll per general not per group (i.e. 5 rolls with Polk)
196 3/22/2024 7:58:00 AM Summer 1862 Confederate Message Jackson, Beauregard to Dalton GA
