Message from Union:
On a side note: I think it's normally better when the defender rolls battles. Battles can easily stop the attacker's action and if that happens the game is sped up by the former defender being able to play his card directly. Exception: The defender can't possibly react because he has no cards left, no intercept on the way is possible and the attacked space contains no General at all or an x/0 General. In that case the attacker should go through, again for speed reasons.

USA +5
CSA +2

2 4/9/2026 5:34:00 PM Spring 1861 Confederate Message Philipp,

I apologize for the first game. I got swamped at work and then ended up in the hospital for surgery. Sorry for not communicating. Probably shouldn't have joined a tournament starting in January due to BPA work.

I should be able to move regularly with this game.

Ken
