119 9/19/2026 5:04:00 AM Fall 1861 Union Message file with USA SR sent out
118 9/18/2026 8:24:00 PM Fall 1861 Confederate Message I received the file 023 and verified everything is right. You can move your Strat moves and you do not have any leaders to place. I lost one SP in Manassas and Both sides SW at 107
117 9/18/2026 8:20:00 PM Fall 1861 Confederate Message I will check spam folder to see if your right about files destination. Both Sides SW at 107 and South cannot use Stewart to move 2SP so lose 1SP to attrition
116 9/18/2026 12:59:00 PM Fall 1861 Union Message perhaps my files went to your spam folder?
115 9/18/2026 12:47:00 PM Fall 1861 Union Message I've sent a new file containing the changes I made to SW to tddavis77@gmail.com

the name of the file is: 023 end of T2 SW again

please confirm that you received the file before I go on
114 9/18/2026 12:44:00 PM Fall 1861 Union Message cavalry brigades are different from normal corps (see 5.5):
they can not drop of SPs - they are always a combinatoipon of a cavalry general and 1 (or sometimes 2) SP

therefor you can not take 1 SP from Manassas and drop it in Ferdericksburg
Manassas suffers attrition
113 9/18/2026 12:41:00 PM Fall 1861 Union Message SW again:

USA-SW was at 100-
CSA-SW was at 95-

USA gained WV -> +5 +2 = 107+
CSA gained MO -> +10 +2 = 107+

the -5 SW in turn 3 is at the end of the turn - during the political control phase - not at the beginning
and this penaalty appöies only to the USA - until the play of Emancipation Declaration - then also the Spouth loses 5 SW


112 9/18/2026 12:29:00 PM Fall 1861 Union Message you are correct: USA does not own KY - my fault
111 9/18/2026 12:27:00 PM Fall 1861 Union Message your files never start from the status that my files reached
110 9/18/2026 12:27:00 PM Fall 1861 Union Message every time I made a move I also made a log-file and sent it to you
it seems they are not reaching you
109 9/17/2026 10:37:00 AM Fall 1861 Confederate Message I was still wrong on CSA SW. started at 95 for your card play and _3 for moving in Neg directions.

95 +10 for MO and +2 for positive direction change = 107
Turn 3 is a -5 plus a -3 for direction change = 99

We are now correct and ready for your T3 Strat moves
108 9/17/2026 10:24:00 AM Fall 1861 Confederate Message update on SW. You played a card which causes CSA Sw to lower by 2 and then since in minus direction it caused _3 for 95 for South. You started at 100. End of turn changes come first before next turn changes. North gained 5 for W. VA so went to 105 in Positive direction

South gained +10 for MO. and went from Neg to positive. 95 +10 (M0) and (+3) for neg to positive for 98.

Both sides lose 5 for turn 3. North 105- 5 -3 for change of direction which equals 97

South was 98 -5 for T3 and -3 direction change = 90

I also checked and when I activated Gen Stewart he was exactly 10 spaces from New Bern. Rules allow Corps move of 8 plus two spaces for rail bonus. You are allowed to drop off SPs and that is how 1 SP is placed in Fredericksburg. I moved Stewart with 2SP.
Sending updated move file shortly
107 9/17/2026 9:53:00 AM Fall 1861 Confederate Message Okay, it appears I am blending games. I For the People the Activated General can use bonus rail moves which is 10 spaces total and not 12 spaces. That is 8 spaces for a corps move and 2 spaces rail bonus.

Updating game file and sending it
106 9/17/2026 9:44:00 AM Fall 1861 Confederate Message CSA should have been 95 from your card play and the Union 100. Both sides lost 5 for the new turn. Union 95 and South 90. Union gained 5 for W. VA so now 100. South gained +10 for Mo so now 100. That was a positive change so +2 so South now 102

You did not gain Ky. As you only own 6 spaces not the reqired 7.

I have to check Stewarts move by rail. I know you cannot pickup SP but thought you could drop off. Checking

I am sending a updated game file
105 9/17/2026 9:39:00 AM Fall 1861 Confederate Message The Union does not control Ky as they only own 6 spaces and not the required 7. The CSA Controls Bowling Green, Columbus and Pedeucah
104 9/17/2026 9:29:00 AM Fall 1861 Confederate Message I will go back and correct SW. If the starting values were listed wrong easy to fix. I also use Notebook LM to check rules. I will check Stewarts move to see if valid. I will update game file with corrections. We both must use ACTs and send game files






I






103 9/17/2026 9:09:00 AM Fall 1861 Confederate Message Do you not watch and follow the game file. Your refusal at times to send game files and your questions appear to support that fact. I just followed the game file SW number and then figured SW. You appear to only use ACTS. That does not work.

Stewart dropped off an sp as part of his move
102 9/17/2026 3:10:00 AM Fall 1861 Union Message I've sent a file with the corrected SW changes at the end of turn 2
will wait for your approval before I do my SR for turn 3
101 9/17/2026 2:55:00 AM Fall 1861 Union Message question regarding SW
CSA-SW stood at 100+
USA-SW stood at 100-

MO became CSA controlled -> + 10 SW = SW 110+
KY & WV became USA controlled -> + 15 SW, +2 Change of Fortune = 117+

how do you get to
USA SW 108+
CSA SW 125+

and another question: how does 1 Confederate SP suddenly appear in Fredericksburg?
100 9/14/2026 2:16:00 PM Fall 1861 Union Message hey Trow,

73 9/14/2026 1:41:00 AM Summer 1861 Union Message why did you remove the PC markers at Bowling Green & Lebanon?
movinh through or into a space wkith a PC marker of the opponent does not remove that PC marker - there is no rule that says so
the only way to remove and/or place PCs during movement is by moving with an army & expanding 1 MP to convert a PC marker or place a PC marker in an empty space (see 5.26 in the rules)
so for instance with an army that has a movement allowance of 6 MP you could move into a neutral space with 1 MP, spend another MP to place a PC, expend the 3rd MP to move into an enemy space, expend the 4th MP to convert the PC there, and then move on with the 2 MPs left

please correct your move
