Game-related note, but why would I ever want to flee Rouen seeing as how its the only near protestant owned fortress? Wouldn't I just be gearing up for Henri to be eliminated in winter when his troop attrits away? Might as well try and get some hits in.

Hypothetical but unlikely possibility that someone could fork you a card or prevent me from taking Rouen.

Also, if I take Rouen via assault Henry will be captured.  If he retreats to Caen and I don't chase him down, he goes into hiding (to the power card until you want to bring him on board again).
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.

Gotcha.

Of course I'd say that unlikely hangs over all of it. :D

2 / Enterprise of England [MANDATORY]
Add up a total count of: the number of Jesuits in England, the number of Catholic spaces in England, the number of spaces in England under Spanish control, and the number of Spanish regulars in England. Award Enterprise of England VP as follows based on that count. 1-2: 1 VP to England, -1 VP to Spain; 3-4: 1 VP to England; 5-6: no VP awarded; 7-10 1 VP to Spain; 11-15: 2 VP to Spain, -1 VP to England; 16+: 3 VP to Spain, -2 VP to England. Card remains in deck each turn. [FAQ: Count spaces under Spanish control even if they are Catholic (i.e., some spaces may count for more than one of these items). Ignore Unrest entirely when making these counts.]

Another reg in Prague.

As I count only one Jesuit in England, and no Spanish space in England, that would be 1VP for England and -1 VP for Spain?

That's correct, Drakken.  I've implemented it in my file.

Quote#59: 4 / John Hawkins

Message from France:
For CPs :

1/4 - Assault Rouen.

Rouen falls and the pretender-king of France is packed off to house-arrest with his wife.  A French mercenary wins honor and glory by dying in the assault.

Quote2/4 CPs - Same formation to Boulogne.
3/4 - "" to Calais.
4/4 - Remove unrest in Calais.

And with that, I'm passing the rest of the turn.

Winter time, folks.

That was fast...

Doing winter stuff now.  See the usual place for dice.

Neither of these are legal.  The former would suffer attrition and lose the mercenary (no line of friendly-controlled spaces).  The latter isn't allowed because Brussels is already fortified.  The excess have to go to a capital (and suffer attrition because, again...).

What 4 units?  Any 4 units?  Should I pick them for you?  Two mercenaries?  4?  A mixture of regulars and mercenaries?

What are you getting during your winter?  1 regular?  2 mercenaries?  4 mercenaries?  Is there a reason you don't post this each winter?
