214 7/5/2026 10:24:00 PM Fall 1862 Confederate Message Thanks for the tips and the game!
213 6/30/2026 10:05:00 AM Fall 1862 Union Message Hey Mark,

Thank you for the game. If you want to continue, no problem.
Otherwise, maybe you should try a more aggressive style with CSA in 1862. Your main advantage is the ability to move an army commanded by Lee with any of your cards, whereas I can statistically reposition with 1/3 of my cards. Try to set up 2 theats at a time with Lee, and once I reacted against one with one of my precious 3OC cards, go for the other.
Richmond is of no importance if you can invade DC.

Best,
Philippe
212 6/28/2026 1:32:00 PM Fall 1862 Confederate Message Phillipe,

As confirmed to Jeff, I will concede.

Good game, and thank you for the match. Very educational.

my best regards,
Mark

The Arkansas river, as an extension to the Mississipi, is under Union control as well and the road to Little Rock is closed to CSA. As a consequence, you can't build a fort at New Madrid.

You can build a fort at Memphis though : you are on the correct side of the Mississipi.

there was no generals casualties, so in that case if you choose the Stuart's brigade then Stuart would just reappear 3 turns later

if your army does only have cavalry, Lee can command it no problem but the army loses the capability to change the political control of a space from USA to CSA
