QuoteOttoman: Play Card as Event

#72: 3 / Cloth Prices Fluctuate

Message from Ottoman:
"Draw and discard a card at random from power controlling Antwerp. Add unrest on up to 2 unoccupied spaces from this list: Antwerp, Brussels, Amsterdam, all German and Italian-speaking Hapsburg home spaces."

Event. Unrest applied to Brussels and Trieste.

My play.  Off to Del to discard a card, then make his play.
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.

Delirium

So if anyone has any doubts on the outcome of this turn you might want to look at the number of cards available to each power...
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

Hapsburgs: Play Card as Operations
#99: 1 / Sebastian Cabot

Message from Hapsburgs:
Gather all squadrons

This places my five squadrons in one fleet, just as the file had them, so the only thing that needs to be done is unrest in Brussels and Trieste. Over to England.

Why would unrest need to be placed in those spaces?  I already did that in my own file.

I warned you guys, but you refused to believe that the Ottomans were the real threat, not the Protestants...

Delirium

You mean in turn 1? That is true in exactly the same way as the clock that has stopped and still shows the right time twice a day.

Most likely I forgot to apply your file before pondering my move.
