Looks like my Alabama lieutenant is going to be out of a job.

Attack Mississippi from Arkansas. If victorious, place as many batallions as possible in Arkansas (use three dice for the attack). Continue attacking if need be unless Arkansas drops to two batallions. If this happens, stop and wait for further instructions. If not, free move one batallion from Tennessee to Georgia, draw card and end turn.

I couldn't help my urge to attack him if we met in real life.

No, but I don't see anyone else stepping up to stop him from taking over the Plains so I'm going to make it a bit of a battle for him at least.

And unburied remain inglorious on the plain."
