So what can I do to stop England from winning?

It is always funny in HiS when people ask this question after it is much too late...

The difference between a competent HiS player and an incompetent one is the competent one is telling you what you need to do before you realize that England will soon be in a position to win.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

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.

I tried to warn them about the Ottomans, but they wouldn't listen.  :rolleyes:

The Ottomans assaulted Vienna, inflicting 2 losses to each side.  The city stands.

I also raised 1 cavalry for another relief force for Istanbul.  We'll see how that goes later...

Off to Del again.
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.

Played a 5 cp card. First one assaulted Wittenberg with a single loss each, luckily that's enough. Remaining 4 cp lands 4 guys from Algiers in Constantinople.

England is up.
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

You don't have a squadron in Barbary Coast.  You can't do this.

But apart from that it's a really good move! Sorry about that, was meaning to move the guys from Naples, then I thought, "wow, that's four guys in Algiers, bring 'em instead"!

Change that to 2 guys from Naples.

Finished the English New Testament, converted Norwich, Lincoln, Portsmouth, Plymouth. Remaining 2 CPs into the English Bible.

Over to the Ottomans.

Took a chance and it paid off...

Quote#97: 2 / Scots Raid

Message from Ottoman:
Playing for CPs :

1/2 - Raise 1 cavalry in Edirne.
2/2 - 3 cavalry in Edirne attack Istanbul.

The resulting battle was 2/0 hits for Ottomans/Habsburgs, respectively.  Habsburg troops are pushed into the sea.

File coming shortly.  Off to Del.

Obvious game logic, as long as I didn't reinforce, you couldn't hit for toffee. When I spend an additional 4 cp to actually take Constantinople, you win instantly.  :rolleyes:

I pass this round.

Remind me, did we ever see a healthy Eddie, or is it going to be Mary next turn?
