Denmark's fleet fails to catch the Swedish one and Denmark builds up its capital defense forces.

Meanwhile, the Serbians cause a bit of mischief...

QuoteSerbian Revolt

Turkish Formations may not exit Turkey while this event is in play. Those outside Turkey Regroup. Any unspent odd CP of a Turkish Neutral build is used to attempt to end this Foreign War instead of placing the +1 CP marker. The +1 CP marker, if already in play, is removed. Add #1 to all attempts to end Turkish Foreign Wars (but not the Serbian Revolt) while this event is in play.

Welcome to the world of foreign wars, grumbler!  All the Turks outside Turkey are sent to regroup and all their flags (IE, in Spain) are removed.  Huzzah!

Off to Britain.
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.

Actually, I am slightly wrong about the flags.  The flags in Madrid and Valencia stay put--they are not counted as Formations for purposes of that.

Britain builds some troops to clear out these pesky Irish, and then Moore promptly loses the first battle.

Then we shuffled some fleets around. All in all a nearly total waste of a 6-CP card.

#96: 2 / Tipping the Scales

Message from Russia:
Playing for CP

0.5/2 Remove Refit Marker on Built fleet. (form Baltic Fleet from 3 Squadrons in St. Pete)
1.0/2 Move Baltic Fleet in St. Pete to Gulf of Bothnia
1.5/2 Move Baltic Fleet in GoB to Baltic Sea

Danes can evade if they wish.

I use the 2/2 to patrol for the Danish fleet.

Russian fleet is out there with the Swedes looking for the Danes.

Are you actually going to roll for the patrol?  There's no need for me to evade if you can't find me...

Blucher moves to Brussels.  Soult evading, or fighting?  Prussia has no CC.

Blucher flags Brussels, and Turkey forces Spanish capitualation.  Turks claim Badajoz, but I don't know who decides which other duchy gets flagged as Turkish.  I am not holding up my turn for that, though, as it won't be a key, obviously, and Spain isn't at war anymore so it isn't urgent.

BTW, Berkut, you are welcome for the return of Lisbon and Oporto. 

Off to Spain, for whomever plays the neutrals.
