Papacy: Play Card as Event#104: 3 / Trace Italienne

Message from Papacy:
Add a fortress to any unfortified space (even if under Unrest or controlled by another power). Unless space is independent or in unrest, add 1 regular to that space from the counter mix of the power in control of the space.

Add a fortress and 1 Papal regular to Modena

Protestant: Play Card as Event
#81: 3 / Indulgence Vendor

Message from Protestant:
German translation, committing Melanchthon.

German New Testament now at 4 CP.

Back to Habbaku.

[Habbaku]

The Ottomans successfully sack Belgrade with minimal losses (1 cavalry, which I noted in ACTS but forgot to take off the map--Del, please do so).  In addition, 1 cavalry each were raised in Nezh and Sofia to patrol the lines.

Habsburgs are up.

[Delirium]

I think the wise choice of the French bodes well for Europe. I am willing to offer you a card draw next turn if the English do so as well, with the caveat that if it's a certain Shcmamalaka league you draw, you must play it first impulse.

In other news, Habsburg fleets maneuver the Mediterranean. England is up.

[Berkut]

That is acceptable to me.

ehrie?

[ehrie]

I don't agree. I know we're all concerned about the Prottys and all, but I don't want the Papal player getting 2 mercs and 2 cards for a 3 CP card. I'm still willing to gift you some amount of mercs, 2 or so, but not a card. I don't have access to a board. I plan to play a 1 CP card to assualt the Scots. Can someone roll that for me and I'll ditch the card when I get back?

Message from Protestant:
Rolling the English assault on Edinburgh.

4 dice from units (3 regulars, 4 mercs, / 2 and round up)
1 die from Henry (1 battle rating)
=
5 English dice.

3 dice from units (3 regulars)
1 die from being the defender
=
4 Scottish dice.

English dice are first.

English get 2 hits, Scots get 1 hit.  Edinburgh is reduced to 1 Scottish defender and England crunches a merc.

Tamas is up.

It leaves you up, and with the 100% conviction that the Hapsburgs and the English do not want to pay you what it's worth to play cloth prices fluctuate as an event.

Well, that isn't the case, now is it? Seeing as Del just said that the deal with France may change his mind?

I don't agree.

I don't agree.

Del was talking about Del's mind, not ehrie the stubborn who apparently is a big fan of the protestants and their 13 conversions on turn 1 so much that he is willing to screw himself rather than let the Pope deal with them.

No amount of reason can overcome obstinacy though, I guess. Don't back down no matter what!

[Habbaku]

I think it is perfectly reasonable for Ehrie to offer mercenaries along with Del's offer of a mercenary and a card in combination to "pay" for the event play.  The Habsburgs can far better afford to pay things than the English can, by virtue of having the ability to get more cards in the first place.

[Berkut]

Well, at the risk of pissing off the Hapsburgs, I will make one last offer:

1 card from the Hapsburgs next turn.
3 mercs from England next turn.

So Del pays 1 less merc, and ehrie pays 1 more. AT least that would be an median CP value for the card he gets this turn.

[Delirium]

Edit: I will agree to that deal, but nothing less from England.

Tamas is up.

[Tamas]

Barbarossa and the barbary pirates set up base, while a new French colony is established in the New World (I forgot to place it on the map, please put it there, dear Pope)

[Delirium]

Try again, dear Frenchy, your colonies cost 3 cp each.

[Tamas]

Try again, dear Frenchy, your colonies cost 3 cp each.

Thats how I remembered, but the chart in the CB box said 2. Anyways, build a regular in Paris instead.
