Either player can play this card as an EC when Confederate SW is 110+. If this is the last card in a players hand or the second to last and the player holds the Emancipation Proclamation, if the condition is met, it must be played as an EC, if not it can be played as an OC. EFFECTS: 1. Union Blockade reduced by one (cannot become greater than 4 for the remainder of the game). 2. Union -2 SP Reinforcements for the remainder of the game (Union choice). 3. Union SW reduced by 10. Remove from deck if event is played. If card is played as an OC or discarded re-shuffle deck at end of the Strategy Phase.

Ignore first torpedo encountered during naval move. If the port space is captured it immediately receives a Union PC marker. Add +2 to Running the Guns die roll.

If a general casualty occurs in a battle caused by this card, the Commanding General is eligible, this is an exception to the rules. See 4.5.

386 3/4/2025 11:36:00 PM Fall 1862 Union Message Ah, you're right. I remember thinking about the need to reshuffle the deck when playing my card at the time, but forgot about it when advancing the turn. So do we undo the first few moves of this turn and redo, or just discard what we have and redraw? Given it might affect moves depending on hand composition?
385 3/3/2025 1:35:00 PM Fall 1862 Confederate Message Post 347
When playing FI or EP as reshuffle OP card, the convention is player to also activate “deck reshuffle button” to avoid either player forgetting to do this at end of turn draw new cards.

364 2/24/2025 10:04:00 PM Summer 1862 Union Message Realise that actually disadvantages you because it involves the loss of 1 SW overall due to change of fortune with the blockade, but my reading of 12.4 would be that while there can be variation in each step, the steps in 3.42 have to be done in order, resulting in the SW award from WV only taking place after the destruction of Nashville & Memphis:

'During the Political Control Phase,
the order of multiple SW effects in the same segment or step is
determined by the player whom they affect. '
363 2/24/2025 10:02:00 PM Summer 1862 Confederate Message For SW swings, it is generally accepted to take based on favorable to each side, with caveat that War Weary and War Guilt must be last step.
For Csa it is more favorable to actually end with

US SW 100+
CSA SW 64-

Because want to avoid SW swing hit again in T6 blockade roll
T6 fail NA
Csa 64- 2 =62-

(If Csa end T5 with 66 +
then T6 blockade fail NA = 66+ -2-3=61-)
362 2/24/2025 9:55:00 PM Summer 1862 Union Message Ah yes good spot, I had missed that. Rare to get a GC roll on a small battle.

Re SW, do you agree with my interpretation that we have to do Step 1 before Step 2, resulting in the different SW totals?

360 2/24/2025 9:43:00 PM Summer 1862 Union Message No worries Nick, real life always takes precedence to gaming.

Re SW, rereading 3.42 and 12.4, I think you've actually short-changed yourself on the SW gain there:

According to 3.42, I can now see that the PC markers should be placed first and the SW calculated for the destruction of Nashville and Memphis in Step 1, before you gain the SW for gaining control of WV. That actually should leave you on 66+ rather than 64-.

Step 1:

US SW 90+ (+10)
CSA SW 72+ (-10, -3 momentum) = 59-

Step 2:

US SW 100+
CSA SW 59- (+5, +2 momentum) = 66+

355 2/21/2025 7:46:00 PM Summer 1862 Union Message How do we calculate the SW changes when there's multiple factors at the end of the turn? The rules state that the player it affects choose which goes first, but how does that work for destruction of resource spaces?
354 2/20/2025 6:01:00 AM Summer 1862 Union Message Yeah I got BG when Kentucky went to the Union back in turn 1 I believe
353 2/20/2025 5:03:00 AM Summer 1862 Confederate Message Ah, BG USA flag incorrectly not shown in my map.
So 1sp corps end in BG and does create PC chain to Nashville
352 2/19/2025 11:05:00 AM Summer 1862 Union Message I believe the extra SP in losses is only applied if the the space from which he entered the battle is enemy controlled, not OOS. Since BG is US controlled the 1SP should still be there.

C.f. 7.61

THE ATTACKER: The attacker must always retreat into the
space from which it entered the battle. If this space was enemy controlled, then the attacker loses one additional SP after the
retreat. If the attack was an Amphibious Assault, the force is
returned to its origination space.
