Well, there was no point in playing Gout last turn and then set up the Constantinople attack if he could attack Vienna *and* Constantinople this turn anyway. Wasted two Response cards, 5 cp and 3 troops. And on top of that ehrie accuses me of having stopped playing.  :P

Message from Ottoman:
Constantinople.

4 Ottoman vs. 4 Habsburg, Ottoman first.

Something of a wash.  2 hits on each side--2 cavalry die as do 2 Habsburg mercenaries.

The cost to get more troops to Istanbul is rather prohibitive, so I just have to hope that 1 die misses, basically.  File coming.  Del is up now.
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.

Charles performs a strategic redisposition of forces, picks up his army and moves to Wittenberg, leaving a maxed out garrison in Vienna.

I'm on to you and ulmont's scheme of converting the world to win. He won't, though. Not sure what to do about you...

1. Play events that will let the pope do counter-reformation shit in England.

2. Not let him surprise DoW you and take cheap keys.

3. Steal cards from him.

4. Distract him with silly noises.

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

I think he can still be stopped. Unfortunately, I've been too busy wasting my cards on stupid plays, but I think it can be done, I want a turn 6 dammit.

I don't think of it so much as a "scheme" as "the obvious Protestant strategy."

The dice will turn. France is ripe for counter reformation.

England is the real problem. I don't know how I can counter that.
