Well, it looks like Seedy has reverted to form, so we are kicking him from the game. Way to prove me wrong.

grumbler is going to step into his place so we can continue things.

Assuming Viking's still around, that is.

Viking, do you still want to press on?  I don't think I've seen you post here, yet, though I may have missed it.
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.

Awesome, thanks.  Now let's see if he posts...

I believe it's Prussia's turn?

I will do the Prussian turn as soon as I know what is going on.  It will likely be aboneheaded move, but that doesn't bother me, so long as the game advances.

How do I know what cards Seedy drew, for instance?  Or does it matter?

The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

I actually just changed you to the Prussian player.  Your hand is indicated on the ACTS website--the left-hand side holds them all, as well as displaying the exact text/CP values of the cards.

I will send you a full card list along with the game files you need so that you can familiarize yourself with them, if necessary.  I strongly suggest reading the Reserve card of each nation, at the minimum.

Most important thing to remember is that you are neutral this, the first turn.

And then you must help us against the Ogre!  :'(

That's only true for the first round, not the first turn.  Prussia is free to declare war/join a camp at any time at the moment, but it will cost them 7 CPs to do so (which may be paid by using any number of cards, of course, since there are no 7 CP cards).

I wholly welcome Prussia declaring on Austria and splitting the spoils with me.   ;)

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Replied, our formidable grenzers will cover our orderly retreat from Linz back to our capital and our Russian friends.

Habs built some more troops after that, including one to threaten/defend from Naples.

The Brits played a 3 CP card to take there last squadron out of regroup, refit both squadrons, and sail them into the Western Med and Tyrrenhian Sea.

Austria is now up.
