#39: 2 / Flooding [COMBAT]
Play just before an enemy formation rolls to assault one of your fortified spaces in Netherlands. The siege is broken and the enemy stack must retreat. The enemy stack loses one half their mercenaries (round up) before retreating. May not be used to stop Treachery! event.

Ottomans successfully complete the Canal.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

#61: 2 / Menendez de Aviles
Roll a die. On a 3 or higher, remove an English, French or Protestant colony from Florida. This space is under Spanish control for the rest of the game. If Spain has an Informant spying on the target power, the roll is automatic

- OR -

Spain builds a Galleon placing it directly into the Treasure Fleet Escorts box

- OR -

Spain adds a fortress to any Spanish World Map space and a Patrol to any ocean zone. [FAQ: The fortress placed need not come off those available to build this turn on the Spanish Power Card.]

Message from Spain:
Fortress in Cuba and patrol in Chilean Coast.

#14: 1 / Signal Fires [RESPONSE]
Play just before attempting an intercept roll with a stack of your naval units currently in one of your home ports. The intercept automatically succeeds. Roll 2 extra dice in the naval battle that ensues.

Yeah, you can't do that. For one, you cannot add up two separate plays. You don't play a card for CPs, hold onto to that CP, then play something else for CPs, and add them together.

And for two, if you play a card for a set of actions, you cannot play a treasure for that same set of actions (these are color coded on the power cards display).

Draw and keep 1 random card from any other power OR Look at the cards in the hand of any other power and discard the card of your choice. Home cards can not be affected in either case.

Lol. Well, that just means England is going to be raking in VP and treasures, because there's not a damn thing I'll be doing to stop it.

Passing the turn.

I am pretty sure that my one additional allowed piracy attempt wasn't really impacted by Spain losing a card.

Hopefully I will be able to "rake in" many VPs and treasures.

#51: 2 / El Dorado
Playable if there is a sea captain whose voyage is currently in either the Spanish Main or Antilles. Remove the sea captain to the Turn Track; the expedition is over having spent the rest of the turn pursuing the myths of El Dorado. All Treasure being carried by the expedition is lost.

Sorry guys no file as I am in a rush.

But I will be passing out the turn.

Skipped past Berkut on accident.  I doubt my play changes based on his, but he's technically up.

I lost three cards to the Ottomans this turn. Which means I have to pretty much solely struggle against that and ignore the New World entirely. So, I'm sure Drake will have a free hand next turn.
