437 3/20/2026 7:18:00 PM Summer 1863 Confederate Message On your first action you can eliminate AoW because I can't reinforce it and I can only retreat to Cairo. That will be the final -5 SW that you need since after my -4 for blockade runners, I'll be down to 4.
436 3/20/2026 7:13:00 PM Summer 1863 Union Message If i understand the rules well, it is better you don't resign.
Maybe we have to play until i burn a city

433 3/20/2026 3:56:00 PM Summer 1863 Confederate Message Actually, I will just concede now as the first thing you will do is eliminate AoW for the win.
You played a great game - congratulations!
It will be a US victory on AR1 of Turn 9.
432 3/20/2026 3:55:00 PM Summer 1863 Confederate Message Also, you haven't had an SP in Lebanon since log entry #285.
So now it will be Hancock n1 unless you make another change to SR.
But I will go ahead.
431 3/20/2026 3:52:00 PM Summer 1863 Confederate Message You are right about Charleston - forgot to place my blockade runner last turn.

However, after attrition AoP is only 5 - you were at 6 after dropping SPs in Burkeville and Drewry's Bluff. Therefore, n13 unless you want to change some SR.

420 3/20/2026 2:07:00 PM Summer 1863 Confederate Play Strategy card as Event #21: 3 / Confederate Overseas Agent
Confederate immediately receives three SPs in any open Blockade Runner Port, no more than one SP per port, but more than one SP per Blockade Zone is permitted. If insufficient ports are available, the excess SPs are lost.

Message from Confederate:
Not much to worry about as I have no ability to save either Virginia or Missouri due to lack of forts across rivers and SPs. I was going to commit suicide with AoW against AoC so I could have all those generals back for next turn, but if I do that I will automatically lose due to blockade runners failing. This way I should at least make it into next turn!

410 3/19/2026 7:03:00 PM Summer 1863 Union Message i sent a email to Stef (and you)
He will decide and we will obey
It is simpler, no ?

409 3/19/2026 5:54:00 PM Summer 1863 Confederate Message The Richmond card says you can place PCs to maintain an LOC, but you already were in supply so I don’t think so. However, I don’t think it’s going to matter much so if you think you should have been able to place one that’s fine.
408 3/19/2026 5:39:00 PM Summer 1863 Union Message I have so many things to do but you stole all my cards

398 3/19/2026 1:24:00 PM Summer 1863 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.

Message from Confederate:
As event, so you must discard a card and then use your turn to move AoP back to Richmond and end there. I don't think you can even convert Petersburg since you already have a LOC.
