I also believe you could have specified exactly where Stuart went, as he is Cavalry general, and the only one you placed, so feel free to adjust where he is. In the physical game, you know which one is a Cavalry general as the back of counter is different. |

> I'm okay with you rolling for your own general placement in the future. Yeah but having you do it allows you to announce where you are placing Generals before you know specifically which of my generals goes where... :-) Where it makes sense, and speeds us along, I will roll my own. my best, Mark |
