66 6/5/2025 9:53:00 AM Summer 1861 Confederate Message One other thing....
I am aggravated with myself for my bad uses of my resources. So I am in a hurry for you to kill me off ( Take Richmond ) So I can surrender and try again....
65 6/5/2025 9:51:00 AM Summer 1861 Confederate Message Since I was down to only 1 SP I think I needed to lose a general or 2 there.
I will let you take over.
If you agree with what I did..
Confederates are in Richmond and the AOP just made it to Hanover and flagged it and might try to attack it again. ( I would )
But I am often wrong on my guesses of what your about to do next. That is why I enjoy the game.

59 6/5/2025 9:15:00 AM Summer 1861 Union Play Strategy card as Operations #102: 3 / First Manassas
Confederate Player may move 2 SPs using Strategic Movement from the same space using rail connections only (5 space maximum) to the same space with a Confederate General who is then activated and must attempt to enter a space with at least one or more Union SPs or fort. 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.

Message from Union:
The AotP attacks Fredericksburg
58 6/5/2025 9:07:00 AM Summer 1861 Union Message Due to losing the Large Battle, the Confederates lose 5 SW and another 3 SW for changing fortunes (down to 92- from 100+) while the Union gains 3 SW and another 2 SW for CF (up to 105+ from 100-).

Due to the Emancipation Card, the Confederates lose 10 SW (down to 82- from 92-) while the Union gains 5 SW (up to 110+ from 105+).
57 6/5/2025 8:49:00 AM Summer 1861 Confederate Message I am still confused why you did not try to keep attacking me yesterday.
It is your turn by the way.
56 6/5/2025 8:48:00 AM Summer 1861 Confederate Message Not really. Would not have changed the battle outcome at all.
55 6/5/2025 8:47:00 AM Summer 1861 Union Message Oh actually, no it wouldn't make any difference because you didn't have an army. They only difference it would make is the cavalry would have helped you avoid battle.
54 6/5/2025 8:33:00 AM Summer 1861 Union Message Oh man, I messed up! I just realized I never put your generals onto the map. That makes a world of difference!
53 6/5/2025 8:30:00 AM Summer 1861 Union Message Confederates lose 10 SW and another 3 SW for changing fortunes (down to 87- from 100+) while the Union gains 5 SW and another 2 SW for CF (up to 107+ from 100-).

52 6/5/2025 6:29:00 AM Summer 1861 Confederate Message William
Are you interested in some type of gaming get together when/if Matthew comes home long enough to have one ? I am not sure he will be home long enough to have one though.
51 6/4/2025 7:45:00 PM Summer 1861 Union Message Alas no move tonight.

Oh boy, when it rains, it pours. That's very ugly for the Confederates, but it probably would have happened by turn 9, so it probably means a loss of an extra 10 SW, which is a big deal, but also losing 3 SPs this early in the game might be almost as bad. But to happen on Turn 2, yikes!
50 6/4/2025 6:11:00 PM Summer 1861 Confederate Message I am hoping you have like 3 -3 cards in your hand and march down and take Richmond and we can move on.

48 6/4/2025 6:07:00 PM Summer 1861 Confederate Play Strategy card as Event #81: 3 / Emancipation Proclamation - Reshuffle/Remove
Either player must play this card as an EC on the Strategy Round immediately following a Union large or medium battle victory. Confederate loses 10 SW and 3 SPs (his choice). Union loses 5 SW. Flip GT marker to its Emancipation Proclamation side. Card must be the last one played by a player at which time it can be played as an OC card. If the play of this card as an OC results in a battle victory, there is no Emancipation Proclamation Remove from deck if event is played. If this card is played as an OC or discarded re-shuffle deck at the end of the Strategy Phase.

40 6/4/2025 10:06:00 AM Summer 1861 Union Message Union wins 4* to 3.

The Union gains 3 SW for winning the large battle plus another 2 SW for changing fortunes (up to 105+ from 100-), while the Confederates lose 5 SW for losing the large battle plus another 3 SW for changing fortunes (down to 92- from 100+).

The Union had a 2-1 force ratio so they can continue moving once Johnston +3 SPs retreat.

Confederate removes two Union SPs (Confederate chooses). No more than one SP can be removed from a space and the SP cannot be the last SP in the space.

Message from Union:
AotP picks up Buell and Rosecrans and 3 SPs from DC and then attacks Manassas from Frederick. Unless you do anything, it would be a large battle (14v7).

Confederate immediately places two SPs in any friendly controlled space in Tennessee with an LOC (both SPs are placed in the same space). The SPs cannot be placed in a Pro Union space or one occupied by Union SPs or fort.

Confederate gains 5 SW points. Remove from deck if event is played.

Message from Union:
AotP moves to Harpers Ferry and picks up 1 SP, moves to Frederick and picks up 1 SP, and then the AotP with 9 SPs attacks Manassas. Unless you do anything, it would be a Medium battle (9v3) with a +3drm Union vs +1drm Confederates.

(Note, this destroys you Operations Queue. "If the general designated as the operations queue participates in a battle whether his modifier was used or not, the operations queue is lost.")
