88 1/22/2025 1:59:00 PM Summer 1861 Confederate Message You would end in Nacogdoches with 3 SP, not 2 SP. You attacked with 4 and lost 1. The result was 1/1*, we each lost 1 and you won so you could continue the move if you want. What do you decide?

Please, next time, let me know before resolving a battle. I think the defender should resolve it.

83 1/22/2025 12:41:00 PM Summer 1861 Confederate Play Strategy card as Operations #15: 1 / Mosby's Raiders
Confederate can remove two Union PC Markers in Virginia within 2 spaces of Winchester, VA. The spaces may contain Union generals, SPs or forts.

Message from Confederate:
Don't worry, you stay in Little Rock and Bragg is displaced to Turn 3.

In my other game, when somebody moves and a battle is about to take place, the attacker sends the log and the non-active player (defender) resolves the battle. I think this is, in addition to possible interceptions and retreats, to see if the defender has any card to respond to that move or battle.

Political Control Marker (CONFEDERATE) placed at Greenville, MO.

82 1/22/2025 6:20:00 AM Summer 1861 Union Message result is 1/1

Je confirme visiblement il y a eu un bug dans la gestion des cartes. l'une d'elle est passée d'une partie à une autre surement un pb lié à la connexion.
J'ai eu le même cas l'année dernière dans une de mes parties.

25 1/11/2025 7:27:00 AM Spring 1861 Confederate Message A problem has occurred. I played the Grierson Raid card in the other tournament game, but due to some mistake it was played here, I didn't have it in my hand in this game. I've spoken to Stéphane and he told me to put it back into the draw pile. Play your card again to see if you want to change anything, or keep the same play?
