Quick question for HIS here (so as not to clutter the VQ thread). Reformation rule says:

QuoteHe adds a +1 die roll modifier to each roll if this attempt was generated by Calvin's Institutes or a Full Bible translation and if this attempt is in the target language zone(s).

Does this mean that you get +2 if both conditions apply, or do both conditions need to apply to get +1?

You cannot have a reformation attempt that is both "generated by Calvin's Institutes" and "generated by...a Full Bible translation."

You get +1 if:

1) The attempt was generated by Calvin's Institute and the attempt is in the target language zone (France); or
2) The attempt was generated by a full Bible translation in a language and the attempt is in that language zone.

Okay, the way I was reading it was:

+1 die roll modifier to each roll if
a) this attempt was generated by Calvin's Institutes or a Full Bible translation
and if
b) this attempt is in the target language zone(s)

So my question was whether you had to have both (a) and (b) to get +1, or whether you got +1 for (a) and another +1 for (b). I think I got it now though.

You only ever get a single DRM.  No double-stacking the +1s there.
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.

Another question, about minor powers. Suppose England DOWs Scotland but France doesn't intervene, so Scotland remains unactivated and fights the war on its own. If England destroys the Scottish army and controls all its spaces, what happens? Does the war simply go on until France (or someone) allies with Scotland and fights for its spaces?

Habbaku

Correct; the war would go on indefinitely, but with no one really able to do anything with Scotland.

If someone played Diplomatic Marriage to activate Scotland, they could then get credit for Edinburgh with a later play of City State Rebels (or vice-versa--play of CSR, then DM), but that would take a lot of resources to get that one key.

I have another question about HIS. Suppose England declares war on Scotland and France intervenes. England captures Edinburgh and France captures Calais. Subsequently they agree to peace and England keeps Edinburgh. What if Scotland is later deactivated via card play, does England still keep Edinburgh or is the English control marker removed?

It looks great, excellent production value. I'm a tad afraid I've bought a second copy of Twilight Struggle, though.
