85 1/13/2025 4:16:00 PM Fall 1861 Union Message Thanks for the game. I will report the results later today.
84 1/13/2025 2:52:00 PM Fall 1861 Confederate Message 3-3

I'll concede at this point. I was hoping to get a card that would get me some more SPs, but it didn't happen.

I made a big mistake in not moving back to Hanover rather than taking West Virginia. Inexperience.

Well done, and I'll catch you in a few weeks.

68 1/13/2025 12:51:00 PM Summer 1861 Confederate Play Strategy card as Operations #105: 1 / Detached Cavalry
Played prior to a battle against an army possessing one or more cavalry brigades. The ONLY effects are the Army’s Commanding General’s battle rating (offense or defense) is immediately reduced by 2 and no Cavalry general’s battle ratings may be used in the battle. The effects end at the conclusion of the battle. Cavalry generals are not available for casualty determination. OR: Place one PC marker in any space within four spaces (includes river connections) of a single cavalry brigade. The four space range many not be traced through Northeast Alabama. The space may not contain an enemy SP or fort, but may contain an Ironclad or Torpedoes.

44 1/9/2025 2:25:00 PM Summer 1861 Union Message You could gamble winning then you can keep moving if you had 2-1. It is a 50% percent both ways.
43 1/9/2025 2:23:00 PM Summer 1861 Confederate Message Ahh, more than twice. Doesn't look like I can do anything to get to Richmond then. Let me see what else I can do.
42 1/9/2025 2:16:00 PM Summer 1861 Union Message 7.33 WHEN THE WINNER IS ELIMINATED: The elimi-
nation of the winner does not change who won. If the attacker
wins but is eliminated, the defender does not retreat, but instead
remains in the space. When a Union Amphibious Assault against
an ungarrisoned Confederate coastal fort eliminates the Union
force, the Confederate player retains control of the fort. If the
defender in the battle wins but is totally eliminated, the follow-
ing procedure is used:
A. If the space contained a fort or coastal fort, the defender wins
and the attacker retreats.
B. If the space did not contain a fort or coastal fort, and the
defending force had a general present, the attacker occupies
the space, but his movement ends.
C. If the space did not contain a fort or coastal fort, and the
defending force did not have a general present, then the at-
tacking force can continue moving if it began the battle more
than twice the size of the defender; otherwise, the attacker’s
movement ends.

Look at part C.
41 1/9/2025 2:06:00 PM Summer 1861 Union Message I believe if you attack with less then greater then 2-1 and don’t win you will not be able to continue moving. Do you still want to do the move you stated?
40 1/9/2025 2:02:00 PM Summer 1861 Confederate Message You are correct.
So

1 Johnston, Beau, and 2 to Hanover. Small battle
2 If I eliminate you, Johnston, Beau, and 1 to Richmond
Drop Beau and pu 1 (should now be 2 with Johnston).
3. Johnston and 2 to Hanover.
4. Frederick pu Stuart (now 3 total SPs)
5-6 to Richmond. Now Johnston, Stuart, Beau and 4 total SPs

39 1/9/2025 12:42:00 PM Summer 1861 Union Message I don’t think JJ can move 3 leaders with a corp movement. I am not by my computer now.
38 1/9/2025 12:35:00 PM Summer 1861 Confederate Play Strategy card as Operations #115: 2 / Galveston
The Confederate player may move 1 SP from a blockade runner port (open or closed) to its associated ungarrisoned Union controlled coastal fort (no Union SP present) and immediately place a Confederate PC marker (does not require a LOC) in the Coastal fort space. Remove from deck if event is played.
