217 1/31/2019 7:12:00 PM Turn 1 CSA Message Dan, thank you for a fantastic first round. Yes, the 1-turn scenarios can live and die by the fickle dice. I really appreciate your skill and how much you persisted, even after the horrible opening 1-6 split. Your determination was great to observe! Good luck in Round #2. I have a feeling we'll play again later on. :-)

216 1/31/2019 5:32:00 PM Turn 1 USA Message Looks like that's the ball game.
Thanks for a tense game. Would have been a lot different without the initial 1-6 roll, that's for sure.
Good luck in the rest of the tournament!

171 1/28/2019 12:52:00 PM Turn 1 CSA Message Yep, that part is correct. But, the unfordable river also reduced using 3d for calculating the Final Flank bonus (Pg 14 of the v1.3 rules). So it covers initially for calculating the 6 hexes surrounding, but then the 2 river hexsides get reduced along with the occupied friendly hexes.

However, a +4 flank can only be reduced as far as +1, so you do still get the +1 flank. Your Attack DRM and outcome were +1 for D/1D.

170 1/28/2019 11:48:00 AM Turn 1 USA Message I don't have access to the map now, but between the river and my units, I think all hexes are covered for +4, and then two of the adjacent hexes (Resaca and Hardee's hexes) are occupied by your units to reduce it to +2. If I'm missing something, please let me know! I've certainly messed that up before!

169 1/28/2019 11:25:00 AM Turn 1 CSA Message Dan, could you check the Final Flank modifier? I think it's only +1.

Have to back it up a little: How did Iverson get over the river to attack 9IL? I own Lay's Ferry, and the bridge at Calhoun is destroyed.

171	1/28/2019 12:52:00 PM	Turn 1	CSA	Message	Yep, that part is correct. But, the unfordable river also reduced using 3d for calculating the Final Flank bonus (Pg 14 of the v1.3 rules). So it covers initially for calculating the 6 hexes surrounding, but then the 2 river hexsides get reduced along with the occupied friendly hexes. However, a +4 flank can only be reduced as far as +1, so you do still get the +1 flank. Your Attack DRM and outcome were +1 for D/1D.
170	1/28/2019 11:48:00 AM	Turn 1	USA	Message	I don't have access to the map now, but between the river and my units, I think all hexes are covered for +4, and then two of the adjacent hexes (Resaca and Hardee's hexes) are occupied by your units to reduce it to +2. If I'm missing something, please let me know! I've certainly messed that up before!
