56 4/3/2025 12:18:00 AM Summer 1861 Union Play Strategy card as Operations #106: 3 / British Clydeside Shipyards
Confederate immediately receives three SPs in any open Blockade Runner Port, no more than one SP per port, but more than one SP per Blockade zone is permitted. If insufficient ports are available, the excess SPs are lost.

Message from Union:
Probably a bad idea, but

54 4/1/2025 5:43:00 AM Summer 1861 Union Message Before I do anything stupid haha, do you mind if you send a vassal save of your map to me? That will be really helpful. Just for confirming that we are all seeing the same map.

The Union Blockade Level is increased by one. Remove from deck if event is played.

Will you incorporate this play in your file?
27 3/15/2025 8:01:00 AM Spring 1861 Confederate Message Will do.
For now, before I have to go, a quick move.
26 3/15/2025 6:34:00 AM Spring 1861 Union Message Let's only send files at the start of every turn. Vassal saves would be sufficient, unless you would like to see my detailed moves. In that case (like this one), I will send a vassal log.
25 3/15/2025 6:32:00 AM Spring 1861 Confederate Message And do we send logfiles or just the gamestate as you proposed earlier?

24 3/15/2025 6:31:00 AM Spring 1861 Confederate Message I'm not sure what we agreed on regarding exchanging files.
Will you send me a file with the endstate after your move?
Or will I play the next card and send a file afterwards?
23 3/15/2025 6:27:00 AM Spring 1861 Confederate Message We start with a bloody First Manassas

Message from Confederate:
I guess the first die is attacker roll (defender result), the second is defender roll.
21 3/15/2025 6:23:00 AM Spring 1861 Confederate Message I was about to, but got disctracted by a phone call...

20 3/15/2025 6:13:00 AM Spring 1861 Union Message Defender may always roll for combat, and after you roll we resolve the battle results: AoP either retreats or stays in Manassas. Then I guess you can play the next card.
19 3/15/2025 5:54:00 AM Spring 1861 Confederate Message DRM
Union +1
CSA +1

Message from Confederate:
I''l try to intercept with JJ
17 3/14/2025 9:12:00 PM Spring 1861 Union Message File Sent

You can decide

1. First if you want to intercept with JJ
2, Second if you want to retreat with Beauregard
3, then Stand and Fight in Manassas
16 3/14/2025 7:24:00 PM Spring 1861 Confederate Message I'm ok with all the proposed optionale rules. Will you send a game state file?
15 3/14/2025 12:37:00 PM Spring 1861 Union Message Confirmed, so they use every optional rules but 19.0 (railroad LOC rules)

Let's use them starting from the next card.
14 3/14/2025 12:02:00 PM Spring 1861 Union Message Yeah let me ask if ladder player use it or not, and if they use it we can play with that rule starting from the next card. I hope it does not affect much, but it sort of already influenced my strategy haha.

Meanwhile, are you okay with

1, playing with all the optional general rules (McClellan's abilities, Van Dorn cavalry brigade etc..)

2, not playing with the railroad optional rule

I will also ask if ladder games use them.
13 3/14/2025 11:48:00 AM Spring 1861 Union Message 3 - Winchester drop 1 SP. AoP(4)
4 - HF
5 - Frederick pick up 2, AoP(6)
6 - Attack Manassas, as in history I guess, Union +1 drm

I am not quite sure about why people use OP Queue, and yes I believe as you said it gives a Union some ability but I do not think it is a game changer. Tell me if you want to play with that rule or not, I am quite okay with both. I will ask the other experienced ladder player if they use this rule on ladder.
12 3/14/2025 11:14:00 AM Spring 1861 Confederate Message Succesfully.

Message from Confederate:
I'll try a retreat before battle.
10 3/14/2025 11:13:00 AM Spring 1861 Confederate Message Regarding the OPs queue: never used it with FTP, but I know it from other CDG's, Washington's War if I remember correctly.
I'm ok with using it, although it might give the Union a slight advantage. Getting those 3-generals in action is a real hindrance for the Union. And with that rule, maybe not so much anymore?
9 3/14/2025 4:10:00 AM Spring 1861 Union Play Strategy card as Operations #9: 3 / Clara Barton
Union immediately adds three SPs due to improved sanitary conditions. Place in any space (friendly controlled or not) that already contains a Union SP and has a LOC, no more than one per space.

Message from Union:
Tell me if you agree with that later. I think I have a change of mind on my plans. It's not really essential, I guess.

Activate AoP with 4SP, DC(1)
1 - Frederick, drop 1SP, AoP(3)
2 - Hapers Ferry, pick up 2SP, AoP(5)
3 - Attack Winchester, reaction?
8 3/14/2025 4:08:00 AM Spring 1861 Union Return Strategy card to hand #97: 1 / Davis Tours the South

Message from Union:
Actually Let's ignore this optional rules for now.
7 3/14/2025 4:03:00 AM Spring 1861 Union Play Strategy card as Operations #97: 1 / Davis Tours the South
Increase Confederate SW by 3.

Message from Union:
Weak hand....So I hope you will allow for us to use optional rule 20.0 OP Queue. I will start it with AoP.

I think ladder games mostly allow this? If you disagree I will play another card.
6 3/14/2025 3:52:00 AM Spring 1861 Confederate Message No I didn't haha.
But I won't.
5 3/13/2025 8:37:00 PM Spring 1861 Union Message Well, you did not say if you are going to play a campaign or not haha...

You got the right person this time.
I'm fine with you playing the union. Have a good game!
1 3/13/2025 8:53:00 AM Spring 1861 Union Message Hi Knut. I just want to make sure I got the correct email this time. If you receive this it means it is correct and we can start the game. Feel free to tell me if you want to be the Union player instead.
