33 6/5/2025 7:10:00 PM Spring 1861 Union Message MOVE #2:
2 SPs move from Pittsburgh to DC

32 6/5/2025 7:08:00 PM Spring 1861 Union Message The Confederates win because it was tied 3*# to 3, but it was a Resource Space. The Confederates were eliminated, but there was a fort so the attackers have to retreat. A force cannot cause casualties more than twice its size, so the Union only loses 2 SPs.

31 6/5/2025 7:06:00 PM Spring 1861 Confederate Message Washington’s War is a lot
Of fun face to face but it just doesn’t get me going via PBM.

30 6/5/2025 7:04:00 PM Spring 1861 Confederate Message You will be getting a letter in the mail over our hopeful game we play with Matthew.
Matthew and I discussed this game over the winter and we know it is right up your alley
Going to make you wait because I am pissed if that you killed me off in 2 card plays….

25 6/5/2025 6:23:00 PM Spring 1861 Union Play Strategy card as Event #88: 3 / Minor Campaign
Conduct up to two moves or conduct one special army-size naval move. No SP, general, or army marker may be moved twice with the same campaign card. You must move a different force each move.

Message from Union:
MOVE 1:
The AotP moves to Manassas and picks up 2 SPs, moves to Fredericksburg and flags it, moves to Hanover and flags it and leaves 1 SP in Hanover, and then attacks Richmond.

24 6/5/2025 6:12:00 PM Spring 1861 Union Message Tied 1-1, so the Union wins. They were eliminated, so the Confederates advance into the space, but their turn ends because a Union general was present.

And interesting that you burned a "3" card to do that...

21 6/5/2025 4:57:00 PM Spring 1861 Union Message Union's turn is finally done.

And once again, I really have to question the strategy you have employed so far in this game. ; )

20 6/5/2025 4:54:00 PM Spring 1861 Union Message MOVE 3:
Butler +1 moves from Fort Monroe to Williamsburg VA.

19 6/5/2025 4:53:00 PM Spring 1861 Union Message Union wins 1* to 1.

The fort is destroyed, causing the Confederates to lose 1 SW and another 3 SW for changing fortunes (down to 96- from 100+), while the Union gains 1 SW and another 2 SW for CF (up to 103+ from 100-).

Fremont leaves 1 SP in Columbus and moves to Humboldt.

18 6/5/2025 4:46:00 PM Spring 1861 Confederate Message Union wins 1*-1

17 6/5/2025 4:28:00 PM Spring 1861 Union Message I believe I was in supply because Paducah is a neutral space.

8.1 Lines of Communication
A unit is “in supply” if it has a Line of Communication (LOC). A unit has a LOC if it can trace a path of spaces to an ultimate supply source. All spaces of the path (except the space of the force) must be friendly-controlled or neutral, and free of enemy SPs or forts (exception: Riverine spaces under Union naval control).

16 6/5/2025 4:10:00 PM Spring 1861 Confederate Message Where you out of supply in that battle ?

Fremont +2 moves from St Louis to Cairo, picks up 1 SP, moves to Paducah and attacks Columbus KY.

13 6/5/2025 3:45:00 PM Spring 1861 Union Message Actually scratch that. The AotP leaves 2 SPs in Manassas and moves back to DC.

12 6/5/2025 3:37:00 PM Spring 1861 Union Message We flag Manassas, leave 1 SP, and attack Fredericksburg.

11 6/5/2025 3:33:00 PM Spring 1861 Union Message Yes, all attacking units must advance. Which is one of the reasons you might not include all of your units in the attack.

10 6/5/2025 3:13:00 PM Spring 1861 Confederate Message William
I should know this, but since you attacked with 8 and lost 1 unit, do all 7 units have to advance into Manassas ?

9 6/5/2025 3:10:00 PM Spring 1861 Confederate Message If you try to finish me off….I try to retreat both times back to
Hanover
Richmond
