730 6/1/2025 7:46:00 PM Summer 1864 Confederate Message you have experience setting up game so I'll let you
729 6/1/2025 7:44:00 PM Summer 1864 Confederate Message Yes, sounds good. we'll get it going. I think I concentrated on the west too much and did not fight enough big battles in the east! You thrashed me soundly
728 6/1/2025 6:58:00 PM Summer 1864 Union Message That brings the CSA SW to 0 and the Rebellion is put down. Good game, I think it is very hard for the Confederate once the Union gets some momentum going. Playing those blockade cards can strangle the Confederates in two ways, by driving down SW for missed rolls and also less SPs. I do like the optional rules, I think it makes the game more realistic.
I'd like to play another game, I will take the Confederacy this time. Interested?

678 5/30/2025 9:10:00 AM Summer 1864 Confederate Message I'm not sure about 10.21
I think strategic movement is still only rail and sea.
I read 10.21 as giving an army ability to reinforce by sea and rail, not rail and road. The Railroad LOC rule then limits the total to 3 via sea and rail (including neutral space)
I think the advantage this gives the Union is that he could move troops down a river and then to an army and only pay one SR for each. He could not reinforce a corps or a division this way.
