Possible Kentucky Secession
During the same 6 turns that it's possible to announce an invasion of Kentucky, there are also events which can possibly cause Kentucky to secede. These are influenced to a great extent by the presence of enemy forces (North, South, or both) along Kentucky's borders. If Kentucky chooses to secede, there will be a "Full" newspaper style announcement to inform both players of the fact. If Kentucky does secede, forces from both sides are free to enter Kentucky without restriction.
Kentucky Joins the Confederacy:
There are 4 distinct possiblities that Kentucky could choose to secede.
1.) If too many USA forces are too close, there's a 50.3% chance of secession in that game.
2.) If too many CSA forces are too close, there's a 26.5% chance of secession in that game.
3.) If too many of both sides', forces are too close, there's a 35.3% chance of secession in that game.
4.) If neither sides' forces are too close, there's also a 35.3% chance of secession in that game.
Finally, if neither side chooses to invade Kentucky, and Kentucky does not secede, it automatically joins the Union in the 1861, Early November turn.
