184 7/9/2025 1:41:00 PM Fall 1863 Union Message Awww, you are making me feel bad... its only a game and I am cosidered one of the best at it... so take it as a lesson in how to play.

I will start posting some information over on CSW once you declare the Union has been saved. You played well for a new player, so do not be disappointed and how could you possilbly know what to do and yet you were close to a victory... be happy.
183 7/9/2025 1:36:00 PM Fall 1863 Confederate Message Yes we (I) give up.

It is pretty much only me, there were only ever really two others helping and one of those gave up at the beginning of this turn so if there was a potential solution I wasn't going to see it.
182 7/9/2025 1:31:00 PM Fall 1863 Union Message Is the CSA surrendering?

There was a solution that you never pursued if this is what you all wanted to do, but its too late now... will discuss in a post mortem...

Let me know if this is a surrender.
181 7/9/2025 1:19:00 PM Fall 1863 Confederate Message Enough I think, chasing around after Union armies and constantly being surrounded is not a lot of fun.

Is this what usually happens by 1863?

Conduct the battle and as the odds are 2-1+ continue moving after the battle.

Can Fremont intercept when he has no defence value? Or does he always succeed on a 1?

Beauregard and 2 SPs in Charleston moves to Wilmington and picks up 2 more SPs, moves to Fayetteville and picks up 2 more SPs then attacks New Bern.
152 7/6/2025 5:57:00 PM Fall 1863 Union Message Two choices, either the CSA makes their second campaign activation OR

We reset and start from the beginning of the scenario... not the beginning of this turn... my big play is now known...
151 7/6/2025 3:22:00 PM Fall 1863 Confederate Message Hello, reset to the start of this turn or the beginning of the 1863 campaign?
150 7/6/2025 1:09:00 PM Fall 1863 Union Message Happy to reset. This move is exactly what I would have done. I just had the anti-Jackson card at 7 Days Battle card. Rare but effective.
149 7/6/2025 11:47:00 AM Fall 1863 Confederate Message Very annoying and probably game over.
148 7/6/2025 11:25:00 AM Fall 1863 Union Play Strategy card as Event #1: 1 / Empty Haversacks
Can be played as an Interrupt card to cancel the activation of any Confederate force, OR during a Union player's turn to cause a Confederate force to immediately execute an attrition procedure. In addition, conduct Forage if force has no LOC.

111 7/3/2025 12:56:00 PM Summer 1863 Confederate Play Strategy card as Operations #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.
