Sorry, pre-Christmas is being pretty hectic, and I need to review the Dominance check rules before taking my turn. Will be posted in my evening.

Yeah, I figured a slowdown around this time would happen. No big deal.
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.

Sorry - didn't realize the turn had actually passed to you. Thought maybe Habs had missed my response to his request.

Negative, though I was a bit delayed over the weekend even so. Thanks for checking.

I believe the game board actually shows how many VPs each player would get if Dominance were checked right now. At the moment no empire is dominant, so Bogh would get 3 VP for having the most cylinders. Habs and Beeb are tied for second place, so they divide 1 VP between them rounding down, resulting in zero for both of them.

Don't think Cel can do anything about it. Even playing both his cards would not be enough for British dominance.

Pretty sure I can.

Purchase Conflict fatigue - coalitions are now dominant if they have 2 more blocks
Play European Cannons in Transcaspia (no ruler) - Britain is now dominant  :bowler:

Dominance triggers, I score 5, BB scores 3.

That is a legal move, I think? Also, how do I go about making the dominance check in Vassal? Do I have to do it manually? (it didn't trigger when I refreshed the market)

That's correct. The Dominance check will trigger during your market cleanup phase (you'll have to "purchase" the Dominance card manually, then implement each step, then do a market refresh), but there is a button that will clear up the blocks at least.

I will, of course, point out that that could have been prevented if Bogh had been more accepting of other Afghans coming on the board...

Edit: Sorry, mostly correct. Beeb has 1 patriot, so the VPs would be reversed--BB gets 5 VPs, Celedhring gets 3 in that situation.

The game is giving me the +5 - I have 2 loyalty points (I did purchase a gift in a previous turn), and BB shows as 1.

I don't show you with a gift, though, and nor are the rupees in the correct location for that.

Just ran through all your previous turns. At no point did you purchase a gift.

Yeah, you're right - damn my brain is full of mud. Apologies, I went back to my turn and realized that I didn't go through with that gift purchase (now I remember that I decided not to spend the money and didn't make the play in the end), but forgot to correct the scorecard. Then both me and BB are at 1 influence.

Can Bogh fix the VP scoring? Turn is already up.

Sorry, I missed the VP scoring fixing request. BB (or someone after him) can fix it - it isn't urgent-urgent.

Took my turn, played into Herat and bought "Confidence failure" to swap hands with Habs.

I found Rally the Troops recently: https://rally-the-troops.com/pax-pamir

 :worthy:

The implementation is great, way better than Vassal, and allows for asynchronous play with email reminders when it's your turn. Highly recommended.

Who's up for a round of Pamir?
