ORIGINAL: Grotius Wonderful AAR! This game is a must-buy for me, too. I must have missed the rules about political points. Does a certain score automatically end the game? Also, what happens if Lincoln isn't re-elected -- game over? Normally a Lincoln loss means a Confederate victory (level depends on points). A Lincoln win means either a Union win of some kind or a Confederate Marginal victory, depending on if the Confederacy can survive until June 1865. 15.4 The Election of 1864 During the Political and Victory Phase of the Initial Turn in November 1864, the US Presidential Election is resolved. If the Union player has 1000 or more political points, Abraham Lincoln is re-elected President. Otherwise, Lincoln is defeated by a Democratic Party "peace" candidate. If Lincoln loses the election, the Union player immediately loses 100 political points and then loses an additional 100 political points during the Political and Victory Phase of each following month. If Lincoln wins the election, the Confederate player immediately loses 100 political points and then loses an additional 100 political points during the Political and Victory Phase of each following month. If Richmond, VA (Confederate Capital), is Union controlled in any month, to include November 1864, after Lincoln wins the election, the Confederate player loses an additional 100 political points, for a total of 200 per month, during the Political and Victory Phase. 16.0 Victory Conditions If during the Political and Victory Phase of the Initial Turn of each month, either player has been reduced to zero political points, the game ends and the other player is declared the winner. If Lincoln loses the election of 1864 and the game has not yet ended, the game will end after the Political and Victory phase of the April 1865 turn. If Lincoln wins the election of 1864 and the game has not yet ended, the game will end after the Political and Victory phase of the July 1865 turn. If the game ends due to one of these time limits, the Confederate player is declared the victor. The level of victory depends on the Political Points of the winning player at the moment that loser reaches zero Political Points or the game ends due to a time limit. Union Victory Level: 1200+ Decisive, 1000+ Substantive, otherwise Marginal. Confederate Victory Level: 1000+ Decisive, 800+ Substantive, otherwise Marginal.
