Immediate Offensive Event

I got an event labeled "Lack of immediate offensive - 10 Morale". I thought this was the same as the "On to Richmond" but I am not sure. For one thing it occurred on the Early August 1861 turn. The other is that the morale cost didn't match either the one I have seen for "On to Richmond" or for that matter what the text said (10 NM). Here is what I saw between the July and this turn:

National Morale:
USA: 86 --> 82 This is only a -4 change
CSA: 95 --> 105 Now this one is 10 but I am the USA player.

No significant action was occuring in this or the previous turn so there is no explaination for the small change in USA or the large change in CSA.

Anyone can clarify this?

Ciao kwhitehead,
I'm no expert, but here goes......

You lost 10 NM's if you didn't get offensive, but other things could have happened that mitigated that number, like "Free Land" is one event I remember that happens kind of early, and that one I think gives you 5 NM's (maybe.) Plus, if you quell the riots in Maryland or the Sam Houston event can give you NM's back. Maybe one of those happened on the same turn, and that's what lessened the number of NM's you lost.

Hope it helps
