We are brain-surgeoning my HDD so dont expect any answers for at least a couple of hours

France: Play Card as Operations
#46: 5 / Calvin's Institutes

Message from France:
2 squadrons in Marseille move to Brest


No file for this

[Berkut]

They cannot reach that far.

Lyon
Barbary
Gibraltar
Atlantic
Biscay

[Tamas]

Ah yes. Bay of Biscay then.

[Berkut]

Actually Tamas, take abck that move for the moment.

I have Treachery. What is it worth to you to have me play it on Antwerp during my move if you go place it under siege right now?

I mean to suggest something like this after England finished their move, but then I forgot about it when I prodded you!

Okay I am taking my move back until we negotiate this

I dont see why should I pay for it: if you dont play it, Ehrie probably wins. And I would be still far from winning, with my mainland exposed to the English. So I say I put antwerp under siege, and you play that card, both in the interest of giving both of us the chance to see next turn.

[Berkut]

Pfft, no chance. It is 5 CPs, a huge card, which would get me a treatise in England and a debate in the same. That would get me VPs and knock the English down a VP, maybe even two. From the standpoint of keeping him from winning, it is likely a wash.

Going to have to offer me something I am afraid, otherwise I will play it right now for a treatise and debate.

[Berkut]

In fact, the more I think about it, the more I think that there isn't much you can give me to make it worth playing in that manner. I think I will just hang onto it for now, and leave the threat hanging over his head. Hold onto a card large enough to besiege on of his keys till the end of the turn, and if we need to do so in order to keep him from winning, we can.

[Berkut]

4 CP for a treatise in England and France.

Flipped 1 English and 2 French spaces.

[Tamas]

Fine, just make him win.

My naval move stands then.

Most of the time that England wins it is because France was too passive against them.

Perhaps, if in fact England wins, this won't be one of those times.

[ulmont]

Finished the English Bible, converted Shrewsbury, York, Carlisle, Berwick.

England is now at 26 VP, Protestants at 42 spaces.

[ehrie]

My VPs are wrong. I should be at 27. 5 from Protty spaces + 13 from Keys + 5 from Edward + 4 from the New World = 27.

[Habbaku]

Suleiman takes Prague with little trouble and raises his navy back to a certain degree of strength.

Part 2 of my anti-Protestant campaign will take place next impulse, most likely, but I'm afraid there's little I can do against the English at the moment.  If the Habsburgs have the CPs for it, I can help them take Antwerp provided that the French do something to hold down the troops in Calais.

File's out--off to the Habsburgs.
