304 8/25/2026 3:45:00 PM Spring 1863 Union Message thanks for the game

My 2 reinforcemnt cards were huge, difficult to counter that!

And you lucky attack (in Texas) was really unlucky, without Pope's army retreating back to DC, nothing bad would have happened to AoNV (at least in the short run)


I'll notify Jeff

the battle result was 2/3 (USA had +2 for supply, +2 for odds, +1 for second general Buell)

Which means that AoNV is left with only 2 SPs, so Smith can only take 1 SP, not enough for what you want to do.

Played prior to a battle against an army possessing one or more cavalry brigades. The ONLY effects are the Army’s Commanding General’s battle rating (offense or defense) is immediately reduced by 2 and no Cavalry general’s battle ratings may be used in the battle. The effects end at the conclusion of the battle. Cavalry generals are not available for casualty determination. OR: Place one PC marker in any space within four spaces (includes river connections) of a single cavalry brigade. The four space range many not be traced through Northeast Alabama. The space may not contain an enemy SP or fort, but may contain an Ironclad or Torpedoes.
