Message from Confederate: Well, that battle didn't go the way I hoped for :-) Now the question is what to try to do with this last card. I could try to push you back again at Bowling Green to save Kentucky (for now anyway) but seems like a pretty good chance of not succeeding. Instead I will try to limit my attrition in hopes of having enough men to hold you back later. Oh, one more thing - Clarksville had 2 SP (see entry #352) so when Ewell was retreated back there, it should be 5 SP rather than 4. Double check that though. Activate Ewell again - moves with 3 SP so 2 left in Clarksville! 1: Dover - drop 1 SP (n2) 2: Paducah - drop 1 SP (n1) 3: Cairo- drop 1 (now Ewell alone and Cairo n2) 4-5: Salem - pick up 3 SP (n3 and AOT n2) 6: St Louis - pick up 1 (4 SP and St Louis n2) 7: Rolla - drop 2 SP (n2) 8: End in Ironton with 2 SP |

If insufficient ports are available, the excess SPs are lost. Remove from deck if event is played. Message from Confederate: Whoops, sorry about the army creation mistake - looks like I need to read over the rules each time I'm doing something that I don't do that often. Rebs will continue to build up a few extra SP with this card. Place SPs in: - Charleston - New Orleans |

#19: 1 / Belmont Either player may move up to two infantry SPs from the same space as if led by a General. This move is a Corps move and may enter enemy controlled spaces because the SPs are moving as if they are led by a general. Message from Union: It's a pretty dense rules set. That's why I had an annotated copy. At times, I want to give up on FtP because I feel like I can't get my head around it. Other dense games, no problem. USA3. As 1 Ops to flip Lebanon. |

#74: 2 / Political Crisis The Union player may remove or demote one Union general for no SW cost. The cost for promoting a general with a lower political value still applies. OR remove ANY Union non-commanding general (even second in commands) from the game. Message from Confederate: Yeah, easy to forget some of the rules. I know I've made the mistake in the past when using a corps move to pick up extra generals. Feel like I'm going to need another army so will go ahead and create one under Stonewall in Clarksville - even if incurring the -2 SW panalty. * Army of the West formed at Clarksville, TN with Jackson in command, strength 5 (including Morgan). * CSA Strategic Will set to 95 (-2 penalty). |

I didn't notice your question. I'm rustier than I thought. Of course, it doesn't help that I've misplaced my annotated rules. Let's revise that move to: 1. Pope and 5sp (Buell and 1sp remain in Louisville) attack Lebanon. 2. Pope and 4sp to Louisville, pu Buell and 1sp (n5) 3-4. BG, drop off Buell and 3sp (n2, AoC n6) 5. Lebanon, drop 1sp (n1) 6-7. Frankfort, pu Curtis and 1sp (n2) 8. Louisville end. |

So no comment on my question about your move and rule 5.32? |

Pope, Buell, and 5sp push on: 2. BG, drop off Buell 3-5. Frankfort, pu Curtis and 1sp (n6) 6-7. Lebanon, drop 1sp (n5) 8. BG, AoC n8. |

Request: 6-sided die x 2 2 3 Message from Confederate: I think per rule 5.32, Pope would have to move to Bloomington or Frankfort first alone and then back to pick up the higher rated Buell. No big deal but just a couple extra MPs. Medium battle in Lebanon: USA: DRM+5 (Pope's 1 plus 4 for Force ratio) CSA: None |
