Languish Here I Stand (9?) Thread

[Delirium]

I played Cloth Prices Fluctuate, drew a card and placed two mercs in Antwerp.

England is up to draw a card thanks to those very cloth prices and do their turn.

[Delirium]

Noting the strong Protestant opening we know that everyone understands that there are only two powers who benefit, and that is Luther himself, and also the Ottomans. We, the Habsburg Empire, will, and must, see it as our responsibility to contain the heretics but in doing so must commit resources otherwise best used elsewhere. We know the heathen Turks will take advantage of the situation, but we also know that the rest of Europe will  instead see the logic in helping us defend civilization against this threat.

I'd like to quote myself after my first impulse, turn one.

[Delirium]

Even though it may seem like I'm talking to myself, I'd like to announce that I'll be away on semi-holiday starting this evening to Sunday. It is probable that I can't access the board during that time, but I think I will be able to check in here a few times and on ACTS and hopefully keep the game moving anyway with some help.

+1 drm for Jane.

Played my home card to move the shindig along, but alas it's a 2 with Jane's +1. Bring on the next biznitch! On to Tamas, not bothering with sending out  file for that.

[Delirium]

Hmm, didn't expect the game not to have gone anywhere. This was my only chance to check in for 48 hours, so see you later.

It does seem hard to believe, until you realize who is up...

Languish was down than I was sleeping. Give me a break.

I play my home card for yet another VP. I shall update ACTS, won't send a file though.

ACTS was always up...

...over to you, Popey.

[Berkut]

You know Tamas, you could have played your home card for a VP at any point in the turn.

Instead, you play it now rather than send your fleet to sea, and making it that much easier for you to be pirated.

[Berkut]

Protestants are up.

Pope sent his fleets to sea.

I build two mercs in Tunis, one merc in Trier and one merc in Augsburg (if there are counters available), if not two in Augsburg.

No board available so it's from memory (= no file). England is up.

I don't have access to a board. Tamas can you please put Del's and my play into it?

Jesus. How many units can you possibly fit into a small English foothold on the continent?
