365 10/25/2026 11:08:00 AM Summer 1863 Union Message It looks like you oversimplified your reinforcements and SR.

The Union controls essentially a straight line up through the middle of the map (i.e., Cincinnati to Atlanta to Columbus GA), and I believe there are only 5 Confederates states east of that line (FL, GA, SC, NC, VA). Also, Missouri's SP must be placed in Missouri.

Hence, I think you must place one of your reinforcements in Missouri and then another of your reinforcements in either Arkansas, Tennessee, or Mississippi, but neither can get to the East.

363 10/25/2026 10:46:00 AM Summer 1863 Union Message =====================

CAPITAL RELOCATION:
> n/a

PLACE PC MARKERS:
Confederate PC markers placed in Harpers Ferry, Chambersburg, Harrisburg, and Philadelphia.

DETERMINE STATE CONTROL:
Because the Confederates control 3 spaces in PA, the Union loses 5 SW down to 94- from 99-) and the Confederates gain 5 SW (up to 41- from 36-).

Alabama becomes Union controlled. The Union gains 7 SW (up to 101- from 94-) and the Confederates lose 7 SW (down to 34- from 41-).

Both sides were affected by these state control changes, although in opposite ways, so I believe both sides get to determine the order in which the "changing fortunes" benefits and penalties get applied. Since both sides started negative, it benefits both sides to apply the SW losses first and the SW gains second. Therefore both sides gain 2 SW for changing fortunes, Union (up to 103+ from 101-) and Confederates (up to 36+ from 34-).

WAR WEARINESS AND GUILT:

ATTRITION:
Shreveport LA loses 1 SP

Meridian MS (AotT) loses 1 SP

Message from Union:
After that last battle, I realize the AotW would be attacking Harrisburg with only 3 SPs and therefore would not have a chance to accomplish their mission, since it would be a small battle without a 2-1 ratio and therefore they couldn't make it past Harrisburg.

Hence, we'll assume they picked up 1 of the 2 SPs from the AoNV.
