Question: Can cards only be permanently removed if they are used for the main action on the card?
If a card is used for any other purpose, such as paying for the top action, using the icons below, or using the card’s text, is it only discarded?
Answer: Yes, you only permanently remove a card if you play the top part (if you deploy the unit). Cards used for payment or any other purpose are discarded but not permanently removed.
Question: Can your opponent see the contents of a stack that contains both armies and forts?
Answer: Yes.
Question: Are you allowed to view your opponent’s discarded cards and permanently removed cards?
Question: When do I have control of a location, and when is it considered contested?
Answer: You have control of a location if it is the same color as your army (blue for the Union player) and there are no enemy units present.
You also have control of a location if you have units or one of your control flags in that location, and there are no enemy units present. A location is considered contested if there are enemy units there along with your own (with each side occupying half of the location).
Question: Can I move my army through a contested location?
Answer: You cannot move through a contested location, but you can move into it. If you enter a location that is occupied or controlled by the enemy, you must stop your movement.

Question: When you deploy an army or fort, can it be placed in either half of the location?
Answer: Yes, you can deploy a fort in each separate half of a location.
Question: If an enemy unit moves into the other half of a location where I have units, should I immediately move my own units into the half of the location under attack?
Answer: Absolutely, you should promptly move your own units into the half of the location that is being attacked.
Question: If the Union player controls the top half of Richmond, and the Confederate player retreats to the bottom half, does it mean that Richmond is no longer a supply source for anyone other than the Confederate units in the bottom half (because all of the rail connections run through the top half)?
Answer: That’s correct, Richmond is indeed cut off as a supply source for all except the Confederate units in the bottom half of Richmond, as all the rail connections run through the top half.
Question: I’m a bit confused about how retreat works in the game. Can a unit withdraw if there are enemy units in the half-location it wants to withdraw through? Does it matter which rail links are used to retreat?
Following on from the previous question, let’s say the Confederate units in the lower half of Richmond get attacked by Union forces in the upper half. Can those Confederate units retreat at all, considering that the rail lines into and out of Richmond are all controlled by the Union?
Answer: No, unfortunately, the Confederate units would not be able to retreat in this situation. They are removed from play.
Question: I have a question about the Victory Points (VPs) on the Blockade track. Do they accumulate as the game progresses?
Answer: No, the VPs on the Blockade track are not cumulative. You only gain the number of VPs shown next to the space occupied on the track.
