I moved Spain to Pact using my Reserve and a second card.

Russia is up.

I was a little confused by this - what cards did you use to do that?

A three cp card, and then a 2 cp card. Remember that I discarded my real Reserve to draw two new cards, the last of which was supposed to be my new "reserve". All per Habs's instructions, I don't have a clue.

Ahh, you only need 1 more space - I thought you needed 2. I did not know you could add the values together like that though. Good to know for the future.

Well, I assumed it was okay, since that is what Habs was doing to keep Spain on his track earlier. :)

No, not exactly.

Habs had to move Spain two spaces, so he played 2 cards, 1 for each space. I am not sure if you can use a + card to combine ops in the manner you did or not. I think it is still two distinct plays.

Well, then I'm lost, although Habs did move Spain to my control, so he seemed to think it was okay.  :goodboy:

I suspect he wasn't paying any attention. I am sure he will chime in when he gets here though.

Go back and look what cards I played to keep Spain.
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.

Now that I have a moment, I'll just explain it.

Basically, using the "+" capability like that is the only way I could've preserved Spain's Pact at the time--as any other play would have to come in sequence or, as the rules say, "as if it were taking an Impulse."

Del's play is fine.

OK, I *think* you are right - the + play allows you to play a card *within* the Impulse, so I guess you can aggregate the CPs like that.

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.

Prussia passes.

Prussia cannot pass as they still have a non-Reserve card in their hand.

You could expend a Resource (drawing a card) as a form of pass if you wish, though.

Not according to ACTS, I don't.  I'd be glad to have another card, though, if you have better info than ACTS.  Ya wanna give me back the card I sent to you for the Fouche card play?  I'd be glad to play that instead of passing.  :cool:
