Union immediately adds three SPs due to improved sanitary conditions. Place in any space (friendly controlled or not) that already contains a Union SP and has a LOC, no more than one per space.

Message from Confederate:
The AoNV assaults Washington DC.
335 10/31/2025 2:22:00 PM Spring 1863 Confederate Message I assume you brought 3 SPs from Chambersburg and than went into Culpeper with 6 SPs before moving back to Strasburg.

AoT retreats to Gordonsville.

The rationale Bill would play the long game and cut off DC from the north. However, let's have some fun...
334 10/31/2025 2:01:00 PM Spring 1863 Union Message The suspense is killing me…..

Confederate defiance against the “War of Northern Aggression” hardens. Increase Confederate SW by three points.

Ok here we go
Halleck is going to try and eliminate Jackson
First Halleck to Harper's Ferry
Do you try and intercept ?

320 10/30/2025 5:16:00 PM Spring 1863 Confederate Play Strategy card as Operations #59: 2 / Farragut
Union may make a naval more with up to three SPs plus one general. Move may pass one ungarrisoned fort without “running the guns” to conduct an amphibious assault (may not pass an ironclad). Ignore first torpedo encountered during naval move. If the port space is captured it immediately receives a Union PC marker. Add +2 to Running the Guns die roll.

Message from Confederate:
AoNV flags Frederick, leaves 1 in Frederick, moves to Culpeper and picks up 5 SPs, moves back to Frederick and attacks DC.
319 10/30/2025 4:38:00 PM Spring 1863 Confederate Message Just to confirm, his 4 SPs come from Winchester (2) and Harpers Ferry (2), correct?

Back to Harper’s Ferry and…..
316 10/30/2025 12:10:00 PM Spring 1863 Confederate Message Map has been fixed.

315 10/30/2025 8:51:00 AM Spring 1863 Union Message I thought the AONV lost 4 in the large battle, but it still has 12 units ?
AOP lost 5 SPs , I thought Washington had 2 SPs not 5.
It really doesn’t matter. Will be fun to see if you take Washington or not.
314 10/30/2025 7:44:00 AM Spring 1863 Confederate Message I have an eye appointment this morning, I'll try to get to this early this afternoon.
313 10/30/2025 7:39:00 AM Spring 1863 Confederate Message I could have messed up somewhere, as it certainly wouldn't be the first time, but I tend think it was the steady bleed of attrition, as you have lost 8 SPs in the East during the last two interphases.
312 10/30/2025 6:27:00 AM Spring 1863 Union Play Strategy card as Operations #128: 3 / Union Naval Supply Shortage

Strength levels do not look right to me which means I haven’t been paying attention or something is off.
Also allowing the Confederates to get that strong in the East and just watching them was really dumb.

310 10/29/2025 4:54:00 PM Spring 1863 Confederate Message AoT moves from Rodgersville to Culpeper
309 10/29/2025 4:09:00 PM Spring 1863 Union Message Washington retreat
308 10/29/2025 3:41:00 PM Spring 1863 Confederate Message The AotP must retreat. I am assuming DC, but I'll await for confirmation before the next half of my Minor Campaign card.
307 10/29/2025 3:39:00 PM Spring 1863 Confederate Message The Confederates gain 3 SW plus another 2 SW for changing fortunes (up to 75+ from 70-), while the Union loses 5 SW plus another 3 SW for changing fortunes (down to 103- from 111+).

Because of the Confederates' modified 10 roll, there is a chance of a general casualty to both sides: 1-3 Confederates, 1 Union.

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 Confederate:
MOVE 1:
AoNV leaves 1 SP, moves to Culpeper and Gordonsville and picks up everybody, moves back to Manassas, and (still leaving that 1 SP in Manassas) attacks Frederick (with 12 SPs).
300 10/29/2025 6:54:00 AM Spring 1863 Union Message Good game William !
299 10/28/2025 7:34:00 PM Spring 1863 Union Message Let's call it a day. You win. You have outplayed me . Period. Forget the die rolls.

298 10/28/2025 7:33:00 PM Spring 1863 Confederate Message The fort is destroyed, causing the Confederates to lose 1 SW (down to 70- from 71-) and the Union to gain 1 SW (up to 111+ from 110+).

Unfortunately, the AoT can continue moving (with 4MPs remaining).
297 10/28/2025 7:32:00 PM Spring 1863 Union Message Confederates win 3*-2, which turns into 4-2 because Union is OOS
296 10/28/2025 7:30:00 PM Spring 1863 Confederate Message Actually scratch that, I forgot the Union was OOS.

Confederate player can either remove or demote an army commander in any state except Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, or Florida for no political cost. OR 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 Remove from deck if event is played.

You mentioned the AotT picking up an SP in Somerset, but they cannot being that they are already at the max of 15 SPs.
