417 6/4/2025 12:37:00 PM Summer 1863 Union Message Good Game,
Agree, was surprised you attempted the intercept. I was going to try and spread out my sps to reduce the double attrition, but them saved supply by taking Louisville.

416 6/4/2025 12:30:00 PM Summer 1863 Union Message 7 SP to DC n11

3 each to Dayton and Washington Ohio

415 6/4/2025 12:29:00 PM Spring 1863 Confederate Message I'm going to go ahead and concede this one.

I think had I not blundered and rolled ASJ's intercept attempt on your last op, I had an interesting chance despite losing VA and Richmond early. Longstreet could've intercepted to save Louisville, then with 2 crossing points and 2 strong armies, maybe I keep you tied up all game?

Good Game and well played, Jeff.

If a Union SP is in one of the objective spaces then a Union PC marker can immediately be placed to convert the space or spaces. Remove from deck if Union plays card.

OR play this card as an automatic 2 space interception. Intervening space must be friendly controlled and free of enemy SPs. The intervening space may be the one just exited by the moving enemy force. No Generals or SPs may be picked up or dropped off during the intercept.
