The Confederate player may move 1 SP from a blockade runner port (open or closed) to its associated ungarrisoned Union controlled coastal fort (no Union SP present) and immediately place a Confederate PC marker (does not require a LOC) in the Coastal fort space.

15 4/14/2026 9:39:00 AM Spring 1861 Confederate Message Sorry about that, Missed placing JJ on turn track.

Use 3 Ops card played to place PCs in KY - Falmouth, Louisville, and Bowling Green

14 4/12/2026 4:13:00 PM Spring 1861 Union Message I'm not sure we're on the same page here. J.Johnston is on the TT, he got eliminated in Winchester although he was victorious. AS Johnston is in Nasville. He can't reach Richmond with his 1 SP. He could with a Leader reorg. Is that what you meant?

13 4/11/2026 4:20:00 PM Spring 1861 Confederate Play Strategy card as Operations #78: 3 / Personal Advisor
Either player may remove or demote from army command one general for no SW penalty. Penalties for promoting a general with a lower political value still apply. OR remove ANY non-commanding general (even second in commands) from the game.

Message from Confederate:
Activate Johtston, Move to Richmond

12 4/10/2026 5:35:00 PM Spring 1861 Union Message 7/8 -> 2*/3 (I only loose 2 though because you can't do more damage than double SP). You win, I have stop because you had a general.

11 4/10/2026 5:33:00 PM Spring 1861 Union Die roll request Request: 6-sided die x 2

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

10 4/10/2026 3:19:00 PM Spring 1861 Confederate Message Unsuccessful, to you for battle

9 4/10/2026 3:18:00 PM Spring 1861 Confederate Die roll request Request: 6-sided die x 1

Message from Confederate:
attempt retreat before battle to Strasburg

8 4/10/2026 3:12:00 PM Spring 1861 Confederate Message I would prefer to just exchange maps at the end of each turn to make sure we are in sync.

7 4/10/2026 12:06:00 PM Spring 1861 Union Message Do we exchange files or do we keep up on our own?

6 4/10/2026 12:05:00 PM Spring 1861 Union Play Strategy card as Operations #12: 3 / Cabinet Intrigue
Union SW reduced by three.

Message from Union:
* AotP drop 1 (4)
* 1 Frederick drop 1 (3)
* 2 Harpers Ferry pu2 (5)
* 3 attack Winchester, 3 MP left

I hope you feel better now, good to have you back.

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
