81 5/7/2025 2:38:00 AM Fall 1861 Confederate Message Ah, I understand frustration with extreme dice and bad card luck. But I look at it as rare isolated events and even out over course of 100+ games.

Agree James can think through all permutations to minimize against negative effects of bad cards-dice. I forgot to put 2sp in Richmond to guard against Union cc. I was pre-occupied with guarding Pitt(3)
80 5/7/2025 2:22:00 AM Fall 1861 Union Play Strategy card as Event #82: 3 / Foreign Intervention - Reshuffle/Remove
Either player can play this card as an EC when Confederate SW is 110+. If this is the last card in a players hand or the second to last and the player holds the Emancipation Proclamation, if the condition is met, it must be played as an EC, if not it can be played as an OC. EFFECTS: 1. Union Blockade reduced by one (cannot become greater than 4 for the remainder of the game). 2. Union -2 SP Reinforcements for the remainder of the game (Union choice). 3. Union SW reduced by 10. Remove from deck if event is played. If card is played as an OC or discarded re-shuffle deck at end of the Strategy Phase.
