USA was also OOS, so the total CSA drm was +5, so the result was 1/2

So, Buell with only 3 stays in Somerset

And about optionals, both the ladder and the BPA tournament use the Generals and the Ops Queue options. They do not use (and almost nobody does) the Railroads one.

So, we are playing the two options only, agree?
16 3/14/2025 11:51:00 AM Spring 1861 Confederate Message And before you play the next card, may I know if we are playing with any optional rules?

1. General special abilities such as McClellan's

And if you would like to tell me whether FTP ladder player use them, I will really appreciate that. Thanks.
