Can you play capitulation though? When the Turks go to regroup, their flags go away, right? In which case Madrid is no longer flagged.

The rules say nothing about flags, and Habbaku agreed about the flags (see above).  Rule 17.1 covers this in any case.

OK, I see - your formations regroup, but not your forces, and a flag is not a formation.

And Rule 17.1 will never allow an illegal play to stand if we can fix it. Otherwise you will never get anywhere in a PBEM game.

Spain is up, I believe Habs needs to "play" their card after he discards all the current Spanish cards and draws new ones.

Oh - and grumbler - brilliant play. The invasion of Spain was awesome.

It took me a couple of minutes to realize that if you only draw two cards, and one of them is "capitulation," the latter doesn't always need to be used as CPs.  I gambled on the combat at Madrid, but luckily Habs drew the high rolls for Austria, not me.

I admit that the Serb war thing threw me for a moment - how could Habs know what I was about to play?  Luckily, it didn't derail The Plan.

Spain will also hand over Majorca in the peace deal.

Spain regroups Castanos and 1 CU to Madrid, where they will likely spend the rest of the game.
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.

Viking, any objection to the Swedes forming a Grand Fleet and going after the Danes?

Knock yourself out, just remember, swedish casualties first.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree 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.

Actually, that is not a good idea. He wants to get a win so that the Danes can invade Stockholm. Why work to give him that fight? As long as one of our fleets are in the sea zone, the Danes are neutralized.

Denmark would go if Denmark had cards.  France will just have to play something in their stead, I suppose.

Message from France:
For CPs :

1/5 - Davout and 5 CUs to Rome. Britain may evade.

That should, of course, be to Naples.

With the British cowards deftly avoiding Davout's army, Napoleon has decided to regroup some troops to Lannes' empty command in hopes that he can hold off the Russian pummeling.

3 cp card, Schwarzenberg moves to Dalmatia to form an army group with John and 9 cu, moves to Venice. Napoleon has rolled successfully to intercept, leaving it to Habs to decide, and to roll the battle in that case. I am out of cards and reserve is played so this is it for Austria this turn.
