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

Edward is currently healthy.  Mary becomes a spinster.
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.

Unpaid Mercenaries or Mercenaries Grow Restless would be amusing right now.

Let it be known I wasn't going to war this turn, originally.  Del is a layup in Brandenburg and his Conquest from winning, though.

Tamas is probably passing, so we played our HC to exco Calvin and call a debate, which we promptly lost 1-2. Flip yet another French space. No file coming.

You choose to forget 200k Turks outside Vienna, I will be down to 21 and couldn't win. Your analysis fails.

Two vp's from Antwerp will do it for you though, along with two more English spaces. Attacking Antwerp is an obvious and effective move at this stage and you do it to win, nothing else. I wouldn't want you to develop a consience all of a sudden, that could be troublesome for you.  :P
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

Vienna manages to hold out a bit longer--only 1 hit for each side.

File coming shortly.  Del's up.

At least that's good news.

I'll pass this round as well, but I'll probably play next round.

There's two things Del hates. People who are intolerant of other cultures and the treacherous Dutch.

Ehrie, you have to roll for Treachery.  I'll do it as part of the update.

Quote105 5 / Treachery
Play against any fortified space that is currently under siege, even a space where a besieging power does not meet the requirements for assault (either because of a lack of a LOC or because of the presence of naval units). Immediately initiate an assault by a besieging power on the units within the fortifications. If after the assault, the besieging units still outnumber the units within, apply these results: all defending units are eliminated; defending leaders are captured; space becomes controlled by besieging power.

Henry loses 2 dudes and takes Antwerp.

Tamas is up, but I think Berkut can assume he's passing.
