France: Play Card as Operations
#69: 3 / Auld Alliance

Message from France:
Move Francis and 4+3 from Grenoble to Milan


Last chance, Pope: if you move against Florence, I will take that as an act of truce between us.

:boggle:

You move a number of troops into Italy that can have no purpose other than to try to attack me, and then start talking about a truce while the Protestants are running rampant?

Did ehrie hack your account or something?

I am defending Milan and showing you that I mean business. I will get peace from you this turn, but I would rather do it CP-free for both of us.

Wonderful. You sure have shown me that you mean business.

Papacy: Play Card as Event

#13: 2 / Schmalkaldic League

Message from Papacy:
ONCE ONLY MANDATORY EVENT If 12 or more spaces are currently under Protestant religious influence or this is the Winter Phase of Turn 4, the Protestant defense league is formed as specified in 21.6. Protestant spaces in unrest count toward the total of 12. Remove from deck once defense league is formed. If drawn on Turn 5 or later, immediately play and draw replacement

2/2: Build a regular in Rome.

I am going to be a while before I can get the file out with the League formation and such, probably this afternoon sometime.

I sent a file around.  I also corrected Zurich's religious status (Zwingli auto-converts it when he comes in), although I forgot to account for my electorate VP.

Everybody take a look, and if that file looks sane I'll go ahead and play.

The file's fine, except that the war between France and the Habsburgs should be ended, now that I look up there.

You should play regardless.
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.

QuoteProtestant: Play Card as Event
#84: 1 / Julia Gonzaga

If Barbary Pirates has been played, award the Julia Gonzaga marker (1 bonus VP) to the Ottoman player if Piracy later this turn in the Tyrrhenian Sea scores a hit. Remove from deck if played as event.

And let me gently try and guide the Sultan's target a bit, or at least get this worthless card out of my hand.

Message from Ottoman:
No anti-piracy dice since the Habsburgs aren't at war with me and there are no Papal squadrons that aren't on loan within the zone.

I only get two dice, however, since there is only 1 port to target.

2 hits.  The Papacy have no squadrons to offer up to the corsair gods, so they must either award cards or VPs.  I'll assume 2 VPs (on top of the Gozaga VP).  Julia goes off to the harem...

My last CP was spent assaulting the Knights, which failed with no hits to either side.

Habsburgs are up.

I suggest Berk denies you those VPs!

Nice game you have there, except for Schmalklandic League faux pas.   :nerd:

That's why Martinus, for all his spending on the trappings of wealth and taste, will never really have class.  He's just trying too hard to be something he isn't (an intelligent, tasteful gentleman), trying desperately to hide what he is (Polish trash with money and a severe behavioral disorder), and it shows in everything he says and does.  He's not our equal, not by a mile.

Yeah, right. I would, but the French seem to be intent on dancing to the Protestant and Ottoman drummer, so I don't really have much choice.

I am rather astounded that the Protestants would just give the Ottomans a VP though.

I'm kind of screwed until you (or, more importantly, Delirium) realize that the Ottomans are a bigger threat than the Protestants.

So...Go Sultan!

It sure is a good thing you didn't go and waste a card getting a peace with me.
