Message from Confederate:
As a reminder, you should not roll for your generals as I'm not supposed to know where they end up.

From the tournament page:

In order to accelerate the PBEM management of the reinforcements phase and to fix a common mistake concerning generals's placement (often Union players announce and roll for his generals before CSA phase, so CSA knows where union generals are contrary to the rule 10.61), players will have to follow this new Sequence:

-End turn stuff done by the player who ends the turn

-Union reinforcements
-Union strategic movements

-CSA reinforcements
-CSA strategic movements

-Union announces where he wants to put his generals.

-CSA announces where he wants to put his generals.
-CSA rolls for the Union and CSA generals

That said, I will place Stuart and one general in Richmond, other to Dover. I only looked at your general allocation.

1-3. Bragg to Richmond, Smith to Dover
4-6. Smith to Richmond, Bragg to Dover
