Languish Here I Stand (9?) Thread

[ehrie]

I question my locking up of the game now. It's really possible for me to lose two keys if I get another bad battle once Tamas and Del move in.

Sure, anything is possible. Just not very likely. Heck, if we can get one key away from you and I can manage to convert one space, we can get you down to 24.

[ehrie]

I can convert spaces back with ease the rest of this turn, Habbaku has Unpaid mercs in his hand for one of my spaces and You have Treachery. My poor navy, sunk to the bottom.

[ehrie]

My money is on Habbaku climbing my corpse to victory as Tamas, Del and Berkut stab me to death. Couldn't you have waited until Habbaku made his move to convert all of freakin England ulmont?

True, you can convert spaces in England easily, and they cannot be easily converted back, which against makes the decision to do those conversions for you rather odd.

Last turn I was one measly space from 25 VP. I also really didn't think ulmont was going to do me the favor of completing the English Bible and choosing spaces that would be easy to convert. I figured he'd stick to the Scotland. This turn I only did the one as I reasoned my Navy could keep me atleast one key if I took out the French in Rouen. Best laid plans.

Eh, I see focusing your attention on England as a feature, not a bug.

You ain't kidding.  Tamas the Bastard screwed my Turn 5 plans.

I really rather you had not, lol. I see it setting off the chain reaction where Del and Tamas beat me up because they have to with me being at 27 VP and Habbaku waltzing right in and snatching victory away.

[Delirium]

That is a very likely scenario, yes.

I'll chance a battle. Interception. No cc, you resolve.

[Habbaku]

The Habsburgs win 4 to 3--two Ottoman squadrons sunk, one Habsburg sunk.

Last two CPs build another squadron in Scutari.

Off to Del.

[Delirium]

Okay, I played a 4 cp card and some fake orders on ACTS. Here is what happens:

1/4 Move a squadron to Irish Sea. ehrie suceeded in intercepting, so I'll leave it to him to decide on a battle one-on-one.

Since I'm going away for at least 24 hours, the rest of my move is conditional:

*If* there is still a Habsburg squadron in Irish Sea, the remaining 3 cp will move the four regulars from Corunna to Bristol.

If not, two cp will move those guys to Brest instead, and the fourth builds a merc in Brussels.

See you when I get back. Posting a file with my move and some cleaning up to this point.

Well I see no choice in the matter of fighting so yes I intercerpt

2 English Dice vs 3 Hapsburg, me first.

1 Hit each. I don't have a rulebook handy so I honestly don't know what happens.

[ehrie]

Oops, I actually rolled one extra dice for you. Only get that defender dice when in a port. As that would be your hit dice, ofcourse. I will reroll the fight.
