As stated previously, I am a new player who has difficulty understanding cryptic codes and trying to play a game with messages instead of being able to see what's going on with an actual map like in Vassal. I guess new players shouldn't play at tournament level. Please remove me from the tournament. I forfeit all games I was supposed to play. I already informed the other guy I'm playing (Mike Kettman) of my decision. Thank you and goodbye. |

Tim, Thanks for the game. how many games did you play before ? It's normal to make mistakes at the beginning. As Union, your first goal must be to protect DC. you should build fort as much as possible in Frederick and HF, Pittsburg and Manassas if possible. and also keep many sp in the area. keep going and you will play better and better. I will set up our other game Tomorrow. |

why did you say that ??? see log 182, I rolled it. |

I was just told on BoardGame Geek forum that your assertion that when your 10 SP attacked my 2 SP at Frederick "there is no die roll for defense because of the battle ratio" is incorrect. I should have been able to roll as defense to make you incur losses before you attacked DC. just so you know for future games! |

I am trying to learn how to play this game, and am frustrated by repeated errors causing confusion on my part. I have 4 1 OP cards (one of which is worthless to me now that you attacked and wiped out my force before I had a chance to play it) so I hereby concede. I have asked on the BoardGame Geek forum if it is true that in a 5:1 attack there is no defensive die roll as you stated. Thanks for showing me how to play better. Goodbye. |

That's what I mean. Since you went ahead and rolled for attack on Frederick I was unable to play either of those cards (if I had it). |

No, you have 1 try with the highest political leader. Burnside here. if it was Banks there is no try to avoid battle because of his value 0 in defence. |

I'm trying to understand your message. I think your 10 SP at Strasburg was overrun, then did you leave someone behind at Strasburg, then move to Manassas and leave 3 there, and then attack Frederick with 4? |

I figured out LR stands for Little Rock. For Strategic Movement I move 4 SP from DC to Charleston, SC & 1 SP in DC to Bowling Green along with 2 SP from St. Louis & 1 SP from Cincinnati ending with 5 SP each in Bowling Green, Cincinnati, & Charleston, SC. For General placement Curtis goes to Cincinnati & Stoneman goes to DC and forms a cavalry brigade with McDowell commanding him & the 3 infantry SPs there. |
