Thanks for pointing that out and you are correct that use of the rail movement bonus does require control of the spaces passed through and to move an unlimited number of spaces during a general reorganization move requires use of the rail movement bonus (I did not realize that before so thanks), however I don't think I used the rail movement bonus. I moved Rosey 10 spaces which I believe is permitted for a general during a reorganization rule without the use of the rail movement bonus. I do agree that if I needed the rail movement bonus all the spaces would have to be USA controlled. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks |

Eric, Hello, and thanks. It’s not a big issue, but, if i recall correctly, use of the rail bonus requires all spaces to be friendly (not neutral)… Thanks! |

Dominico, Rosey's path to Cairo was: 1. Parkersburg-Jackson-Washington-Cincinnati-Vernon-Bloomington-Vincennes-Salem-Jonesborough-Cairo (not through any enemy controlled spaces or spaces with enemy SP's. (See 5.65) Is your concern Parkersburg? It is my understanding that while a strategic move is prohibited through neutral spaces a reorg move (like any other non-strategic movement is permitted through a neutral space). Please let me know if you still have a concern. Thanks |
