Yesterday?

Anyway, I already announced I'll lose a card since I got tired of waiting.

Alright, so Austria's committing a card, Russia isn't, Prussia cannot...and France will choose to decline to influence the roll.

Britain may feel free to spend a card, but something tells me that they will decline.

Now we're off to the interphase.

Grumbler, your Prussians have the option now to attempt to join either camp.  Any of the players within the camp you're joining may veto it.  I will, of course, not veto your joining the Imperial camp and I suspect the others would like you to join them as well.

Alternatively, you may stay neutral and declare war during the turn at a cost of 7 CPs, or wait for the free interphase declaration at the end of this turn as well.  Your decision.
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.

So this means that there is no peace die roll?  That the Interphase begins?

If so, I am open to offers.  Like (from the allies) the return of Warsaw, and the Parliament card for this turn.  I will undertake to raise some Landwehr and move the Turks, as best I can, to an alliance.

From the French, I don't have a good handle on what you could offer, but I am listening.

Correct, no peace roll since the modifiers cancel (-1 for the Austrian card sacrifice means that a 7 is necessary to end the game).

As for my "offer" as it is, it was posted earlier.  I can't directly hand you anything other than a favorable event that I might get (The Sultan's Ear/i], for example, could shift it in your favor.

The only thing I have to give is a promise to tie down extensive amounts of troops in Austria while you party in Poland.  At the same time, I'd be willing to deploy a Spanish leader and 4 CUs to your territory to defend it from any potential counter-attacks.

I will offer Parliament conditionally - barring something unforseen happening, I intend to send it your way. Generally, if something unforseen happens, I may ask for you to allow me to do something else with it - my goal is for it to be used as effectively as possible, where it is needed. So, while I will give you "first dibs" on it, I would hope that you would realize it may be the case where we need it somewhere else, depending on the conditions.

I would hope, of course, that Russia would agree to give Warsaw back - that is a perfectly reasonable request.

Now, technically by rule, we are not supposed to offer you anything to join us - you are supposed to propose a deal to us, which we can reject or accept. I don't know how strictly that is generally followed however.

Once Prussia is sorted out, the next phase will be reinforcements, which technically go in move order, but does not really need to unless there is some good reason for it, like a camp switch.

So start thinking about that.

• France: 18 CPs
• Britain: Six CPs
• Austria, Russia, Prussia: Eight CPs each
• Spain, Ottoman Turks: Four CPs each
• Denmark, Sweden: Two CPs each

Spain drops 2 CUs in Madrid.
Denmark drops 1 CU in Copenhagen.
France drops 9 CUs in Paris.

Deployment comes after purchases, so I'll wait a minute for that to see how Prussia swings.

Russia places 3 in Grodno and 5 in Moscow.

Ach nein, that's cp to buy units, not actual units.

I build in Vienna.

Sweden places 1 CU in Stockholm
Britain places 3 CUs in London

Also, these builds have to all go to your capital. You will get a chance to deploy them though.

So we are just waiting on grumbler to declare his camp. Hopefully he will Do The Right Thing.

He has the choice of fighting the french alongside the russians and austrians this turn, or fighting them alone next turn.

Unless Russia agrees to return Warsaw, I am inclined to stay on the sidelines and court neutrals. We need to get this resolved so the game can continue.
