32 12/5/2018 8:59:00 PM Turn 1 USA Message I substituted the new file #6 to include the results of the combat. Hindman is off to the NE for now to make him easier to retreat.
After your retreat you can roll for initiative and continue if you win.
Hoping for a better result with a +7 differential, but at least I got the hex back.

31 12/5/2018 8:46:00 PM Turn 1 USA Message I will take all 6 losses from Davis.
Schofield, Baird and Judah will advance.

30 12/5/2018 8:40:00 PM Turn 1 USA Message Yikes! I jinxed myself. Luckily I had enough of an advantage that it's not a disaster.
Result: +2 differential
Attacker: 6Da
Defender: 1Dr

Message from USA:
Okay, here goes nothing. The dice have definitely been with me so far!
1st: USA +8
2nd: CSA +1

28 12/4/2018 10:05:00 PM Turn 1 CSA Message Looks good. I'll let you roll. I'm superstitious. :-)

27 12/4/2018 9:48:00 PM Turn 1 USA Message Combat modifiers:
Defender: +1 for attack across creek.

Attacker:
Flank attack bonus: Six covered hexes for +4, reduced to +2 for friendly unit in 2011 and woods in 1811.
Artilllery: 9-2 for +7 artillery value = NE in rough
+1 for assault.
Ratio: 70:14 for 5:1 odds = +4 drm
Tactical Modifier: 3 for Palmer - 2 for Hindman = +1

End result:
Defender +1
Attacker +8

Please verify all my calculations. If correct, you can go ahead and roll the combat or send it back to me as desired.

Message from USA:
Palmer has command value = 5, so both units may participate (I'm doing this very step by step to make sure it's clear and that I understand it - I'll have you check it before I roll the final result to make sure I didn't mess it up!)

Sherman will attempt a Grand Assault.
Roll for Sherman's command

Patrick,
At long last, let's get this show on the road. I will put my VASSAL file into dropbox after each activation. Also, all of my initiative rolls will be Union first die, Confederate second die.
1st Union automatic activation:
Activate Rice for march. Roll for MPs.

I have tomorrow off so will get things going in the morning. Looking forward to the game!

4 11/18/2018 8:46:00 PM Turn 1 GCACW GM Message Alright, you both wanted different sides, so you get your preference with no bid. The sides are set up correctly here, so you're set to go. Good luck!

3 11/18/2018 8:45:00 PM Turn 1 GCACW GM Message Testing my message capability.

2 11/18/2018 7:48:00 PM Turn 1 USA Message Thanks, you too. I submitted my bid today but haven't heard back from the GM, so we'll have to wait until we know which side we've gotten and with what bid.
I am pretty comfortable with the game but haven't played in a while, so although I plan on being careful, don't hesitate to call me out if I make a rules mistake. Certainly haven't played this scenario, so it should be interesting.
