I count 30 SPs on my map vs 28 on yours.
136 3/3/2025 4:01:00 PM Fall 1861 Confederate Message OK - McKenzie n3. Have you checked the map to confirm that there isn't a reduction of 2SP somewhere else?
135 3/3/2025 7:20:00 AM Fall 1861 Union Message In log entry 78, Price ended his movement with 2 SPs in McKenzie. There is a later reference to McKenzie in log 85, but that is for your first uncorrected Belmont action. The final Belmont move in log 87 leaves Belmont untouched (and therefore, still at 2)
134 3/3/2025 4:38:00 AM Fall 1861 Confederate Message ok - time to stop - I think McKenzie has 1 in it, so the maps are out of sync. I will send mine.

124 2/25/2025 12:27:00 AM Fall 1861 Union Message no, Burnside is the active general; he moved through Pittsburgh without picking up or dropping off any SPs or general

also, it is a 2-op, so Rosecrans couldn't be the one who moved
123 2/24/2025 5:13:00 AM Fall 1861 Confederate Message I think Rosecrans is in Grafton not Pittsburg
122 2/24/2025 12:33:00 AM Fall 1861 Union Message you're right; I got Halleck and Rosecrans mixed up in Vassal, and since they're functionally equivalent (other than political rating), I didn't notice the mix-up

so, previous card play that should be Halleck moving out of DC, and now in the current play, Burnside dropped him off in Frederick

so, Rosecrans and 2 SPs in Pittsburgh
Halleck and 3 SPs in Frederick
and both spaces fortified
121 2/22/2025 7:22:00 PM Fall 1861 Confederate Message Something is not right with these leaders - Rosecrans was placed in Pittsburg in #47 and I don't he's moved since

May not be discarded by the Union. Union must use this card as an OC. If at the conclusion of movement, a Union SP is not on or adjacent to Grand Ecore, LA, then the Union loses 5 SW points. If a Union SP is in one of the objective spaces then a Union PC marker can immediately be placed to convert the space or spaces. Remove from deck if Union plays card.

Your SP count is off unless you meant to pick up the SP in Little Rock. Columbus dropped town to 2 from attrition in log entry 62, and you did reinforce it during your strategic rail.

Therefore, Columbus should have 1 or if the intent is for Columbus to remain at 2, you need to remove an SP from either Humboldt, McKenzie, or Little Rock
