34 3/24/2026 8:15:00 AM Summer 1861 Confederate Message yes 7 in Richmond

For Weldon/Marion, i was thinking one and wrote the other, as you understood

33 3/23/2026 9:18:00 PM Summer 1861 Union Message Before I start, a couple corrections:
- Fort Fisher is in NC, so the SP for that would be instead of Weldon not Marion. However, it looks like you caught that and changed it on the SR so no problem.
- After attrition, Richmond had only 4 SPs not 5.

Would you like to change your SR or leave it as is, which would mean Richmond is only at 7 SPs not 8?

If this is the last card in a players hand or the second to last and the player holds the Emancipation Proclamation, if the condition is met, it must be played as an EC, if not it can be played as an OC. EFFECTS: 1. Union Blockade reduced by one (cannot become greater than 4 for the remainder of the game). 2. Union -2 SP Reinforcements for the remainder of the game (Union choice). 3. Union SW reduced by 10. Remove from deck if event is played. If card is played as an OC or discarded re-shuffle deck at end of the Strategy Phase.

10 3/23/2026 8:03:00 AM Spring 1861 Confederate Play Strategy card as Operations #105: 1 / Detached Cavalry
