Next turn I think it would be great if the Russian fleet could go kick the shit out of the Danes.

Not only do I have to beat Napoleon on my own, I now have to defend warsaw from trecherous prussians AND sink the danish navy? WTF, isn't anybody gonna help me beat Napoleon?  :cry:

Oh dear lord, you have got to be kidding me.

You can spare 1 CP to sail on out to your own lake.

good god, I'm taking the piss!!

oh, meanwhile, can you burn down paris?

Meh, at least I'm drawing 4 cards. It costs me 4 cp to move and flag with the great army. Probably 5 cp next turn when I get the next general in, assuming the prussians decide to occupy nassau rather than warsaw. I need more cards. I'll trade a card for 1 cp to sink some danes. My fleet is expendable anyways as long as sweden is on "our" side.

Seriously, you are doing fine. You haven't lost a battle yet (and usually the Russians and Austrians have lost several by this point), you are up a key, and you have a ton of Allied help on the Continent.

Hell, I was going to spend the turn chasing the Irish around, to be honest. But Soult left Belgium open...

And no, I cannot burn Paris. Sorry.

But you can deal with the Danes. And should. It is why you have a fleet.

You have zero dice if you leave your fleet sitting in port because you are afraid of the Danes. In which case you might as well not have it to begin with.

Link up with the Swedes, and then you have 5 to his 4.

I'll have to see my hand next turn. I've got one card left now. Plus I'm still building my third fleet.

"Alone?"

Charles practically defeated the Spanish and French combined armies together, he's known as "The Scourge of Marseilles".

I think we're doing pretty well, as Berk said, no lost battles. So far.  :bowler:

To be completely honest....this is about as poorly as I ahve ever seen France do at this point in the game.

However, he still has some huge advantages, and knowing Habs, he will be exploiting them. The monster stack is nice, but it is not exactly nimble.

We must remain ever vigilant!

Just as a rundown of the current VP count, lest people have lost track :

France : -1 (-2 after Munich is flagged)
Britain : +2
Austria : 0
Prussia : -1
Russia : +1 (+2 after Munich is flagged)
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.
-J. R. R. Tolkien
