Nevermind, I see Max already picked the HC. Habs can start his impulse then.

[Habbaku]

Busy weekend.  Next one will be the same, though I shouldn't be that delayed next time.

#53: 4 / Grand Tour
Eliminate unrest from all French home spaces. France then gets to undertake up to two different items from this list: (a) end a war with a Major Power (displace units if necessary), (b) take the Nostradamus' Prophecies card from the discard pile, (c) award a card or treasure to another power, or (d) add 1 regular in Paris and then move a formation from Paris using the rules for spring deployment to another French home space. Remove from deck if played after Catholic League has formed.

[FAQ: Card is removed from play if played after the Catholic League is formed — even if just played for CP.]

Ugh, indeed, have been way too busy, slipped my mind.

Holy Roman Empire: Play Card as Operations

#59: 4 / John Hawkins
England spends 5 CP on building naval units (including expeditions), naval moves and/or piracy. During these actions, John Hawkins' piracy rating is increased to 2 in the Guinea Coast and Spanish Main. However if England fails to roll a single 4, 5 or 6 when resolving piracy by Hawkins, England is penalized with a -1 VP Slave Trader marker.

- OR -

England or Spain may remove an enemy informant and add one of their own to spy on that enemy.

- OR -

Flip all English galleons in home ports to their race-built side.

Message from Holy Roman Empire:

Play 2CP treasure to place fortress to Graz

You actually have to roll which scientist you patronize since you have two. I rolled in ACTS and it's actually Mercator. Sbr can fix it when he does his turn.

#75: 2 / The Lost Colony [MANDATORY]
Target a colony in the Atlantic Coast. The owning player must roll a die to keep his colony, succeeding on a 5 or 6. If any other number is rolled, the colony is eliminated. This roll must occur whenever this card is played if a colony exists in one of these spaces, even if the player owning the colony plays this event. Card remains in deck each turn.

Message from Protestants:
1/1 Clear Unrest in Rouen

1/2 Merc in Haarlem

HRE's Scientist was changed to Mercator.

[Maximus]

I'm going to be out for 2 weeks starting early next week. Limited net access.

[Solmyr]

Maybe we could get to the French impulse before then.

#86: 2 / Polish Royal Election [MANDATORY]
End any Foreign Wars between the Holy Roman Empire and Poland. Then, Spain, France, and the Holy Roman (if a player power) have the option to play a card or treasure to advance their candidate for the Polish throne. Reveal all choices simultaneously. Each power playing a card/treasure adds its CP value to the roll of one die. Power with the highest total becomes King of Poland and receives 2 VP, as long as their total exceeds 5. If highest total is 5 or less, no VP awarded (Ivan the Terrible becomes King of Poland). Remove from deck after play.

[FAQ: Mandatory Events may not be played for the election; home cards may be. In the case of a tie, France scores the 2 VP if they are one of the tied powers. If not the Holy Roman scores the VP.]

Message from Ottoman:
Let's go ahead with this first, then...

Let's do the event first for this.  Need secret card commitments from Tamas, Max and Sol.

[Maximus]

How do we do that? Send them to you?

[Habbaku]

E-mail or PM is easiest.

[Solmyr]

Let's home Tamas doesn't take three days to respond.
