46 10/31/2025 7:43:00 PM Summer 1861 Union Message Yes, I do think game is pretty over after the loss of Richmond and the large battle

I had lucky dice, but probably this as an event was a bit of unnesseray

Thanks for the game, I will report
45 10/30/2025 8:58:00 PM Summer 1861 Confederate Message 3/2

I think that makes it game over! Losing Richmond on the second turn and with so few men from that earlier initial battle, will be unliekly to get me back into the game.

I concede to prevent the loss of life

41 10/30/2025 2:08:00 PM Summer 1861 Confederate Play Strategy card as Event #3: 1 / Forward to Richmond
Union may activate any Union army within 4 spaces of Richmond, VA. The army must enter Richmond or move as close to Richmond as possible, but may convert spaces to maintain an LOC. All SPs associated with the army must be moved (no dropping off SPs), except 1 SP may be left if the Army began its movement from a fort (if last SP, move completed). If played by the Confederate, he draws a card from the Union hand which is discarded, and the Union player follows the instructions of this card as his next card play.
