Round 1, "McClellan's Opportunity" is in the books. Pairings for Round 2, "McDowell", have now been made.

Please note a few rule clarifications for Round 2:

• Remember to use the standard series rules, found either in GTC, Skirmisher No. 1, or on gcacw.com.
• The standard rules mention a +6 VP adjustment for "McDowell". We're going to disregard that. Instead, we will adjust the VPs by +3. Here are the adjusted VP levels (note that any bid will be in addition to these adjustments):

VP	Result
17 or more	CSA Decisive
13 to 16	CSA Substantive
9 to 12	CSA Marginal
5 to 8	USA Marginal
1 to 4	USA Substantive
0 or less	USA Decisive

• Don't forget this scenario includes random rain events. You'll use the Stonewall in the Valley random events chart. Note also that the SiV RE chart changes on May 1 - smack dab in the middle of the scenario.

Rain Result	Turn 1 Random Event DR	Turns 2-12 Random Event DR
No Effect	4, 6 to 11	5 to 11
Rain	5	4
Rain +1	3	2, 3
Rain +2	2, 12	12

• Note that the placement of the Major and Minor River unfordable markers are governed by the standard rules
• Remember per the scenario instructions, this is "south map only". You may need to figure out where the map barrier is (it runs east to west just north of the northeastern most Yank objective)
• Union leaders are NOT +1 to movement rates. Instead, they guarantee a minimum of 2. So a roll of 1 is 2 MPs ... and a roll of 6 is 6 MPs.
