Union may activate any Union army within 4 spaces of Richmond, VA. The army must enter Richmond or move as close to Richmond as possible, but may convert spaces to maintain an LOC. All SPs associated with the army must be moved (no dropping off SPs), except 1 SP may be left if the Army began its movement from a fort (if last SP, move completed). If played by the Confederate, he draws a card from the Union hand which is discarded, and the Union player follows the instructions of this card as his next card play.

Yes, stop at DC is my desire in any case, so all good.
37 4/20/2026 12:59:00 PM Summer 1861 Union Message Hey Mark, I'm afraid it doesn't work like that. As an Interrupt card, the text just supersedes/replaces the event text or the movement capability of the activated unit. In that case, the AoP will stop its move at DC.
Do you still wish to play it ?
36 4/20/2026 12:03:00 AM Summer 1861 Confederate Play Strategy card as Event #7: 1 / Mud March
Interrupt enemy force currently moving to no more than one space of movement. (Converting a space counts as movement.) Applies to only one move during a Major or Minor campaign card, but not a special army-naval move.

Message from Confederate:
I will play this Interrupt after your force enters Washington D.C., so you have spent only 1 space, and can spend one more.

Back to you to continue AoP move.
