11 1/4/2025 11:13:00 PM Spring 1861 Union 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.

If Union infantry SPs occupy all three Shenandoah Valley spaces the Union player places a destroyed Resource marker in all Shenandoah Valley spaces. These destroyed Resource markers cannot be removed and prevent the Confederate player from using the Shenandoah valley as a supply source for the remainder of the game. Remove from deck if event is played.

2 1/3/2025 7:24:00 AM Spring 1861 Confederate Message Hi, here is our game. No campaign from the CSA to start, so it is your move.

I suggest we each keep track of the board position on Vassal file and we can swap them once a turn or more often as needed as it seems fairly easy to get out of sync.
