Meaning you still can play that card with troops that can reach Ft. Gadsen or put the card back in you deck and do something else. You still have a move to make with that card or with another. |

No, MAC CAN'T make it to Ft Gadsen, so no losses. You'd have to find something in WDC to go attack Ft Gadson. You have to have access to the sea to make the attack. |

SO I end turn with McClellan an 2sp in Columbus, KY in the fort. |

That was confusing. McClellan CAN'T reach the sea. |

Weeell, McClellan is in Cairo. He can reach the sea. CSA Forts in the way. Second, while the Fort and Foote +2 did cancel out, you had a 3-1 on the fort which is a +2, but rolled a 2 for a 4 total. Both sides lost one, and there was no * on your roll, so the fort won, though would be without a garrison. You have to use troops and leader who have access to the sea, right now on the west coast. IF there were no CSA forts in Columbus and Ft Jackson, then Lil'Mac would have a free route to attack Fort Gadson. AND, if you aren't running the guns, then winning the fight would leave the Union occupying the fort. |

Okay, I see the problem in finding Burnsides. In several places you and I have typed Burnside_, without the 's'. So, Burnside is in Cinny. |

Jim, I don't know when he was moved. You don't mention him with your Campaign moves. If you moved him somewhere, where there are a fort or SPs, then just let me know where. If not, then place him with SPs or in a fort. |

Bill, see action#57 for where Burnsides is. Let me know if you want me to have him in Bloomington or bring him on in turn #3. |

In strategic movement, you can move SPs, but not generals and generals can't be alone in a space except a fort. That is a problem because it anchors SPs sometimes. |

WDC 9n Yes, Burnside was alone in Indi, but moved to Bloomington unless you want me to bring him in next turn. |

I have to clarify somethings: How many SPs in WDC? Is Burnside all alone in Indy? If so, he can't be unless he is in a fort. |

Jim, you can target subordinate generals with the ANV, not the cinc. That means Beau, Smith, Morgan and Stuart. Your process was right. Randomly pick one of those generals and then find out their actual fate. |

Well, two things. 1. I do my reinforcements before you do your generals. 2. The generals come on randomly. The way you do it is by die rolls using 99 sided dice. State that the first three high rolls go to X, the lowest two go to Y and the rest to Z. You can have generals go wherever you want, just who goes where is random. Unless you have them all go to one place. |
