383 5/26/2025 3:35:00 PM Summer 1863 Union Message Did you see my last remark?
382 5/17/2025 6:48:00 AM Summer 1863 Union Message I think you need to review this.
381 5/12/2025 10:06:00 AM Summer 1863 Union Message I don't understand this completely. It seems you you took only 6 SPs in reinforcements instead of 8 (plus BR of course):
ANV n3 (Manassas), Macon, Missionary Ridge, Marshall, Jackson, Montgomery
But then you SMed 8SPs.

In your file Johnstown and Coshocton haven't been touched, so I can't see what you wanted to do there.

And Sabine has only 2SP.

And why did you only roll 3BR? There is at least one open BR port in each zone?

Probably it would be better if you redid your file, this seems faulty.

371 5/11/2025 4:50:00 PM Summer 1863 Union Message The Vassal module might do something wrong.
At the beginning of the political control phase the numbers are:

USA 66-
CSA 46+

1st step:
PC destroys Nashville
USA 73+ (+5/+2)
CSA 38- (-5/-3)

This leads to control of the Mississippi:
USA 83+ (+10)
CSA 38-

Now the raids:
USA 70- (-5/-5/-3)
CSA 50+ (+5/+5/+2)

Vassal module seems correct, if I'm not mistaken.
