85 5/10/2025 11:20:00 AM Fall 1861 Confederate Message Dave,
You can't actually do that with Halleck as he is the official second-in-command of AoP (highest political rating other than the CO). So he has to stay with AoP unless you add another equal or higher ranking general.
If you want to do the same move with Banks or Pope just let me know and I can adjust the file when I do my move.

22 5/5/2025 6:39:00 PM Spring 1861 Confederate Play Strategy card as Operations #111: 2 / Wilson’s Raid
Union may place two Union PC markers in any spaces within four spaces (includes river connections) of a single Union cavalry brigade. The four space range CAN be traced through Northeast Alabama. These PC Markers (in contravention of rule 11.3D), CAN be placed in blockade runner ports/ and or resource spaces devoid of Confederate SPs or forts (but may contain an Ironclad or Torpedoes), resulting in their immediate destruction. Remove from deck if event is played.

Message from Confederate:
Yes, tough start.
For the record, I think it would have been better for you to take 2 SPs from DC to capture New Orleans (which would also give you Forts St. Philip/Jackson). But we'll see!

Activate Beauregard in Manassas.
Leave 1 SP in Manassas.
1) Beauregard n2 to Strasburg
2) to Winchester. Pickup JJ and 1 SP n3.
3) to Strasburg
4) to Manassas. Pickup 1 SP n4.
5) to Frederick to attack the 1 SP there.
You have option to intercept. If no intercept, battle is small, CS+4 (Beauregard, 4:1 odds), US+0.
Over to you to resolve - I will continue moving if possible. File coming. No need to make one yourself - I'll just add to mine to finish the turn.

20 5/5/2025 6:13:00 PM Spring 1861 Union Play Strategy card as Operations #59: 2 / Farragut
Union may make a naval more with up to three SPs plus one general. Move may pass one ungarrisoned fort without “running the guns” to conduct an amphibious assault (may not pass an ironclad). Ignore first torpedo encountered during naval move. If the port space is captured it immediately receives a Union PC marker. Add +2 to Running the Guns die roll.

Message from Union:
19 5/5/2025 6:10:00 PM Spring 1861 Confederate Message Woo-hoo! Excellent choice.
Still have to play your final card though.

The Union player may either increase the Blockade Level by one or increase the Amphibious Assault modifier by two.

Message from Confederate:
I thought with two blockade cards in my hand this turn I'd be safe, but you had another one!

Activate Lee and AoNV in Richmond.
Leave Forrest in Richmond.
1) AoNV n5 to Williamsburg. Drop 1 SP in Williamsburg.
2) AoNV n4 to Fort Monroe to attack the 1 SP there.
I'll roll it since you would have played an interrupt on AoNV before if you had one!

Unusual start to the game with this card! You get to randomly discard one card and then play the other, and I get the last two plays.
