No, our highly bureaucratic techno weenie has locked out pretty much all downloading and installation capabilities, along with such things as the ability to defragment drives, delete executables, and the like.

You can run CB from a USB drive with no install.

Also, I can't access the whateverhorse web site for the card play, because it is locked from our firewall because it contains the word "game."  ironically, sites like addictinggames.com are not locked out.

Odd, but what proxies were made for.

Britain: Sweden: Play Strategy card as Event#57: 3 / Up from the Ranks

Message from Britain:
Place any out-of-play but available leader (except Poniatowski or Bernadotte) in his friendly Home or Associate Duchy. If played by a Neutral Proxy, the leader must be placed in the Neutral's capital. If no leader is available, the Neutral has 3 CPs instead.

This seems good.

Wellington finds himself in Dublin.

The Danes decided to "pass" by drawing a card with their home card play.

The French, meanwhile, were very busy.  Davout's troops poured into Naples to cement the foundation of the Kingdom of Naples (earning a CU, a card and a resource for the Empire) while also seizing the fields of Ratisbon and reinforcing Napoleon's army in preparation for a descent on...someone.

Britain's up.  Note that after Britain's play, France now has pre-emption capability (only 1 reserve, 5 real cards in hand) unless they also play their reserve.
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.

France will make use of their pre-empt...to build an even larger card buffer.

#71: 6 / Spithead & the Nore

Message from France:
Draw a random card from the British hand (if available) and one from the Draw Pile. Not playable by Britain.

Britain owes a card.  Austria's up, regardless.

I'd say it's going bad for everyone but Prussia and Russia, at the moment.  We'll see what I can do about those two, though...

Yeah, being outnumbered AND surrounded does suck a bit...

I played a 3 cp card to bring Spain to the next level (had a +1 from before).

Sorry, guys, I got sucked into my school's "family service weekend" and spent the last two (rainy) days building a house for Habitats for Humanities.

I have't had time to keep up with the game, but guess that it is my turn.

Will do tomorrow when I get back from school.

Yeah....I don't think that is going to work.

Apparently, the rain and flooding in his brain has knocked out his ability to actually play wargames completely. We will wait until you get things sorted out grumbler.
