161 7/29/2025 12:49:00 PM Summer 1862 Union 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.

Message from Union:
Wow, rolling that "6" on defense might have changed the outcome of the game!

The Union won the Medium Battle in Columbus, which in turn requires the Union to play this card for its an Event.

The Confederates lose 10 SW (down to 52- from 62-) and the Union loses 5 SW (down to 88- from 93-). And the Confederates must remove 3 SPs.

Confederate Player may move 5 SPs using Strategic Movement (rail connections only) 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. If a general casualty occurs in a battle caused by this card, the Commanding General is eligible, this is an exception to the rules. See 4.5.

+10drm Confederates (+6 generals, +4 force)

Feel free to roll for the battle if that is what you are looking to do (or simply confirm it).

You also keep referring to your army as "AOM", but you had originally created it as the Army of Tennessee. Would you it like it switched to the Army of the Mississippi?
125 7/28/2025 8:07:00 AM Spring 1862 Union Message To recap, the AoT moves from Barnesville (with 7 SPs) to Atlanta, leaves 1 SP in Atlanta, moves to Newnan and places a PC marker, attacks Opelika which is an automatic victory of at least 2-1, the AoT flags Opelika and attacks Montgomery.
