Languish Here I Stand (9?) Thread

So correct me if I'm wrong, ties mean the attacker, in this case me, has to retreat?

You're half right. 

7. Declare Winner: The side scoring the most hits is declared the
winner of the battle. In the case of a tie, the defender is declared the
winner.

If the combat occurred in a sea
zone, the loser retreats to an adjacent port under its control or an
adjacent sea zone that is free of enemy naval units.

So yes, the defender wins and the attacker has to retreat.  However:

The active player is always considered
the attacker in a naval combat.

So Del is the attacker, the loser, and must retreat.

Well, that works then. I'll have my move up in an hour or so when I can take a break.

Battle of North Sea, first 2 dice are the English ones

Me being teh defender I stay in North Sea. But -does the English feet get destroyed due to receiving a single hit and being the loser?

[Berkut]

Yep.

Glug, glug, glug.

[Tamas]

Oh and I pass this one round.

[ehrie]

Yep.

Glug, glug, glug.

What makes you think that? It's a tie and thus I retreat according to the rules ulmont posted earlier.

[Berkut]

Indeed you do retreat.

But the loser of the fight has to take any odd hits as another loss. So you lose 1 squadron.

[ehrie]

God I can't believe I lost my whole navy this frakin turn.  File coming shortly.

[Delirium]

So, the Pope is up.

[Berkut]

Used Papal Bullto call a debate in England. Had two 3 value debaters up against one another, Pope won 2-0 to flip a couple English spaces. File sent. I think I forgot to put the debaters back, if someone could do that on the next file.

[ulmont]

Published a treatise, converted Avignon, sent file, over to Ottomans.

Protestants pass out the rest of the turn.

[Habbaku]

File out.  The Ottomans raise another naval squadron in Scutari with Surprise Attack's CPs (see why I wanted a land battle so badly?).

Del's up.  England's soon to be down to one card, then we should be able to work together to snatch a key from them and extend the game.

Jesus H Christ. In hindsight, I cut my losses quite handily by surrendering Vienna then.
