Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen, and keep your eyes wide the chance won't come again; but don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin, and there's no telling who that it's naming. For the loser now will be later to win, cause the times they are a-changin'. -- B Dylan

In principle I'd refuse Jaron and FB replacing grumbler.

But I'd prefer it if he just played his card and took Paris.

Took my move.  Added two to peace die roll with Prussia, and unsuccessfully tried to end Serb uprising with Turkey.

Sweden is up, and would greatly enhance the chances of Paris falling if they joined Stedinck and co to Blucher.  I don't have the strength to take Paris without him.

Spain's final card play unless they become controlled :

QuoteFrance: Spain: Play random Strategy card

#25: 5 / Panic!

Message from France:
Spain's random play.

2 CUs to Madrid, +1 CP marker to Madrid.  No file for that--Berkut can handle it when he does the Swedes.
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.

Sweden drew a card. Over to Denmark.

The Danes built another CU in their capital and bought maneuvers with their other CP.  The 2nd patrol succeeded in finding the grand Russo-Swedish fleet.

I went ahead and rolled for evasion because I forgot that naval battles also incur a penalty but Berkut assures me that Viking would've attempted an evasion.

The evasion fails, so the Danes get +1 die for a total of 5 vs. the grand fleet's 5.  The naval battle resulted in a glorious victory for the Danes, though they only managed to smash their fellow Scandis rather than any Russians (assuming that Russia takes the hit on the Swedes).  The Russian fleet is driven into Kalmar, where it becomes blockaded.

France, meanwhile, uses its resource to draw a card...

And gets something eminently useful :

QuoteFrance: France: Play Strategy card as Event

#54: 5 / Fouche

Message from France:
France draws a random card from any nation. Discard out of game if used as an Event after Napoleon Abdicates or Turn 3 - whichever occurs first.

As event. Targeting Prussia.

Grumbler owes me a card.  File coming soon--off to the British.  Keep in mind that I have pre-empt.

Prussia hopes France enjoys the card so much that she chokes on it.   :cool:

The way I read the rules, that will be too late.

Whatever, though. If you do decide that way, your course is clear.

Eh, no. I built a fleet and sailed it out to fight the Danes, not evade them. Berkut, explain yourself  :berkut:

But lets continue anyway. It was for Berkut's benefit that I sent the fleet out to begin with.

If you disagree with the evasion, then I am more than happy to re-roll my dice on the battle (IE, 4 instead of 5).

I've been looking for the fight and I have the dice advantage plus I don't really need the fleets for anything else. So re-roll plz.
