95 4/22/2025 9:29:00 PM Fall 1861 Union Message I understand that for the Kentucky activation but for the Virginia one I am still adjacent to a space with a railroad LOC, so according to 8.13, wouldn't I still pay one? Winchester is adjacent to Harper's Ferry, which is a Railroad LOC.
94 4/22/2025 9:11:00 PM Fall 1861 Confederate Message I'll let you re-do if you want to.
With the new optional rules, if you do not start in or adjacent to a rail LOC, then it cost 2 MPS to advance a space.
So, the AOT move would need to stop in Louisville since each move and conversion would cost 3mps.
Also on the third move, since AOP is in winchester but no Rail LOC, you have 2mps remaining but to move out of winchester, it would cost 2 so you could not get back to manasses
93 4/22/2025 7:29:00 PM Fall 1861 Union Message 3rd Activation
