Ok. Will do that this weekend or morning. Happy Thanksgiving. I am finding it difficult to connect the ACTS with Vassal Board. I missed your GE Army. Tricky, not sure if playing PBEM with Vassal alone might be smother. No worries, will get the Admin phase done as you said. |

Now, in the tournament, after the AP played his six Action Round, he does the Attrition, Siege, and War Status phases, discards strategy cards and announces builds. Then the CP player announces his builds, ends the turn in ACTS so that both players can draw cards for the next round. Then the CP player rolls the Mandatory Offensives and plays his first round. |

Wow, lucky turn for me! Note on below. In ACTS, you always put the battle site in the "Comments to include" box when rolling dice. Just so there is no after the fact ambiguity about which battle the die roll applied to. AH3 flips. GE1 flips. GE2 advances to Brussels. Trench destroyed. VP 10. (That's right, ACTS doesn't keep track of VPs. You indicate them in the Journal as changes occur. |

THe BEF Corps retreat was through Brussels as I had to retreat 2. Unlike the RU Corp in K-P that only had to retreat 1. No way ion ACTS to record VPs, right? |

That will also increase your VP (VP hex) to the current of 10, right? |

So 7 loss against the Allies and 5 for the Germans, delta = 2. Retreat to Ostend as the full BEF Corps that replace the BEF Army. |

SO I had to retreat two from the combat. I moved from Sedan to Chateu Thierry to Cambrai. Right, wil play the Rape of Belgium after your advance to Sedan, having to stop in the forest of the hex. Rape of Belgium is discarded or removed from the game. |

That’s right. You got it. So, when the results are in, you need to say what your retreat will be (or in this case whether you will take another step loss), then I will say whether I will advance. Then it is your turn, and you can play your first card. Now, we may have a bit of a problem, because I see that, although you pulled Rape of Belgium back, the center panel still shows Allies as having War Status of 2. If you play it again and it moves it up to 4, I’m not sure how we change that. So, I suggest that you just discard it, and then we’ll count it as played, i.e. subtract 1VP. |

So I am learning. Rolled twice on two entries. I think you wanted me to roll 2 dice, the top being the Attacker which was a 1 (CP) and 2 (FR), resulting in 4 hits on the French and 2 on the German. THat flipped the FR and no effect on the GE/CP. SO how do you handle advance after combat? |
