Turn 37 (Early May 1863):

3. Our raiders in Franklin disrupted Union attempts to establish economic activity in the area.
4. ~10,500 recruits were distributed into 27 depleted brigades.
5. War Academies across the South have trained many C&C officers in bettering their command and logistic activities.
6. Gen. Trimble's wounds are causing his condition to deteriorate. He is now in Critical condition.
SecInt Report:
1. We began construction on a raider in St. Louis.
2. Our attempt to conscript recruits in St. Louis failed because of isolated pockets of Yankee-inspired unrest in that city.
3. Our raiders in Norfolk and Lexington have finished recruitment.
SecNav Report:
1. BR's have brought in 45 units of weapons in the past two weeks.
SecState Report:
1. British and French support for the Union have increased. We just cannot compete with the Yanquis gold.

Late May 1863 Strategy
1. Basically just keep upgrading units with new guns, new upgrades, and more men. Still a few turns away from being able to start advancing again.

Turn 38 (Late May 1863):
SecWar Report:
1. We have promoted Gen. J.G. Walker to 3-star general in command of the Valley District. Gen. Heth's request to transfer back to Jackson's command has been granted.
2. Our raiders in the Potomac have wrecked havoc on the local Yankee economy, however, they were pursued and dispersed by Union defenders in D.C.
3. Our raiders in Kenawha have seized 7 units of weapons from Union armories in the area.
4. 10,500 new conscripts have been placed into 27 existing brigades. We now estimate the need for 199,000 more troops to fill our existing armies to full strength.
5. Union forces have seized Island #10 in the Memphis area. This will open the way towards the city being seiged in the next couple of weeks.
6. Union forces have still not moved into Fredericksburg. If they stay out for a few more weeks, we may be able to reestablish our defensive position there.
7. General Jackson feels that his forces will be ready for combat in the near future.
8. Disease has struck our units in Cincinnati, further weakening Gen. Lee's army and delaying the scheduled offensive manuevers of Gen. Walker by at least two weeks.
SecInt Report:
1. We began construction of two banks in Columbus, GA.
2. Gov. Pettus is now requesting an extension to his existing telegraph wires. We approve this request.
SecNav Report:
1. Our blockade runners have smuggled in 40 units of weapons from up and down the Confederate coastline.
SecState Report:
1. Union support in Britain and Europe have increased. We estimate it to be an 8 on a 10 point scale.

RE: Confederate AAR
Thanks for the map screen shot, Ugly Guy. You're doing well.
RE: Confederate AAR
I'm thinking if I could have just played a bit smarter a few times, I could have more offense right now in the Midwest. As it stands, I am just trading blows with the Union. Historically, I would screwed, as the casualties are heavy favoring the Union. However, I do have a stout defense, and I can wait them out successfully at this point.

Turn 39 (Early June 1863):
SecWar Report:
1. Union forces have captured Memphis after a brief but bloody seige. Our garrison managed to kill or wound more than 4,000 Yankees during the assault.
2. Union forces have moved into Fredericksburg, Appalachia, and Grafton.
3. Gen. Price moved his forces into position to seige Springfield, Ill.
4. Gen. Walker reports his troops are ready for offensive action. He is planning a series of lightning strikes throughout the Ohio Valley region designed to catch the Union off guard and deplete the three divisions that have established a tenuous control over the area.

6. Raiders in Louisville have succeeded in destroying several Union supply depots through the region.

8. Raiders in the upper Mississippi have torn up several miles of rail track throughout the region.
9. Raiders in Annapolis have raided several Union armories and brought back 16 units of weapons for our soldiers.
10. The Creek have loaned us another brigade of fighting men. It will prove prudent to use them as a garrison in Little Rock now that memphis has fallen.
11. We regret to inform you that Gen. Trimble has passed away from his injuries.
12. Union forces withdrew before our forces in Cincinnati could engage them in combat.
SecInt Report:

Great AAR UG! Can't wait to see you throw Buell out of Tennessee:)
RE: Confederate AAR
Late June 1863 Strategy
1. Most of my armies are still recouping, but I am going to start seiging Springfield, Ill. and move in to strike the Union in Kentucky. I'm hoping to be able to conduct a series of lightning strikes with Gen. Walker's Valley District troops to throw the union out of Kentucky and Virginia altogether.

Turn 40 (late June 1863):
SecWar Report:
1. Gen. Walker engaged the enemy on multiple fronts. Details to follow.
2. Our spies report that a Union division is moving west following a route that would have it engaging our seige forces in Springfield. Given the seige progress was not significant we recommend withdrawing the seige forces and trying to draw the Union into an engagement near St. Louis.
3. Raiders in Louisville have destroyed many sections of Union railroad.
4. Raiders in Annapolis ravished Union supply depots in that area.
5. Raiders in Kenawha were driven away by the Union division there.
6. Raiders in the Upper Mississippi have stolen 12 units of weapons from Union armories there.
7. ~8800 minimally trained recruits were disbursed into our armies as replacements. The fall of Memphis has deprived us of the use of the camps there which have dropped our replacement numbers considerably.
8. The Union has begun seiging Fredericksburg.
9. The Valley District has raised its command rating. The 2nd Div 3rd Corp ANV has raised its logistical rating.
10. Gen. Marshall has recovered from his wounds and is ready for duty.
11. However, reports indicate that Gen. Gordon's condition has worsened. He is now critical.
SecInt Report:
1. Started construction of a division container in Richmond and Jackson.
2. We have finished construction of division containers in Richmond and Jackson.
3. Gov. Pettus no longer requests brigades to be stationed in his state.

SecNav Report:
1. Blockade runners have smuggled in 45 units of weapons and 45 money in the past two weeks.

RE: Victory?
All - Sorry for my apparent abandoning of this AAR. That was not my intent. I will be starting this backup next week, and try to shoot for a twice a week update schedule.
RE: Game On!
Early July 1863 Strategy
1. Gen. Walker will proceed with the attack into West Virginia. While not as strategically important as say liberating Nashville, I believe that I can piecemeal crush the two Union armies there.
2. Gen. Lee will continue to rest in Cincinnati.
3. Gen. Jackson will continue to rebuild in Vicksburg.
