Just keep an eye on Davout - your interception left a path east for him. Which was still the right move, IMO, but just be aware of it.

My plan is to have nappy miss the remaining assaults on grodno.

:lmfao:

I've heard of worse plans.

Maybe I should tell you about my 13 assaults on Gibraltar in WiF.

You don't have to say anything after stating that you assaulted Gibraltar.

The defenders were face down out of supply with full shore bombardment from the Regia Marina and full air support from the Luftwaffe I had a 3.8/1 +3 assault. Had either the fractional odds shift to 4/1 worked or the combat dice roll at 3/1 been 3 or more on the 1d10 combat die worked I'd have taken it on the first attack. 96% chance of success :(

Britain: Britain: Play Strategy card as Operations#10: 4 / Palace Intrigue

Message from Britain:
3/4: Wellington and friends to Antwerp
4/4: Weelington and friends to Brussels


Viking is up if he wants to play that reserve. I gave the French something else to do besides ravage Russia. Your welcome.

The convoy limit is 5--you have to leave either 1 CU behind or the secondary leader.
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.

That actually works out ok - lets leave Moore behind.

That puts Viking up for potentially popping his resource.

Pop a resource

Play Exiles for a leader and CU and another card

Play a 4 CP card for 3 CU in Moscow and moving Kutuzov to Milan.

You can't play two cards in a row like that.  Your resource card-draw counts as your + play and whatever you wish to do after that is the "regular" play.

My cunning plan for defending Grodno seems to be working fine.  :hug: :berkut:

I played a 6 CP card (Russia Mobilizes) for...CPs.

Davout and 6 CUs moved to take Milan and Venice, Kutusov failing his interception this time around.

Elsewhere, Soult moves north with 6 CUs, into Picardy, where Wellington's forces succeeded in interception.

To Berkut to decide if he wants to intercept or not.  I have 2 CPs left.
