Wake me up when it's my turn.

It's your turn now.  :facepalm:

As in "when the turn file's sent", but I'll go with it.

Holy Roman Empire: Play Card as Event
#18: 4 / City State Rebels

Message from Holy Roman Empire:
Dublin rebels.

So unless Habs comes in to chime that I'm not allowed...

The only way I can drive English VPs down is trying to convert spaces in general.

If we can get Prot spaces down to 29, England will lose 1VP.

I've been trying, but Garbon seems pretty uninterested in letting me.  Ditto Drakken.

Of course you could have mentioned that to me. To be honest it didn't even occur as a route to me. :blush:

It wasn't already sent.  Habbs played an event for Berk who resolved it and sent out a file.

No, it's allowed but I still don't see why you'd play that on Dublin instead of Ireland Revolts.  IR would net you Dublin, easy.  CSR only takes Dublin away from England.
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.

I mistakenly assumed you had figured it out because your play has been considerably more astute than Drakken's and Tamas's.  Not an assumption I will make again.  :p

Because Irish Rebellion has a good chance of you landing Ireland, instead of me or Berkut.

Britons were wiped out of Dublin with 2 hits, and switches to the Reich.

One German Reg in Dublin.

So, +1VP more for me and -1VP for Ulmont due to losing his key?

Nope. Ireland is free now, not HRE.

That's not what I read. Unless it means I must give it to the Irish?

Pick a fortified space that is not under control of its home power(s) as the target of the attack. Attacker rolls 5 dice. Each hit scored forces the power controlling the space to eliminate a land or naval unit from the space. If no land or naval units remain after the revolt, do the following: army leaders are captured by the power playing the card; naval leaders are placed on the Turn Track; remove current control marker and place a control marker and 1 regular from your choice of one of that space's home powers.

 :rolleyes:  CSR only returns control of a key to a home power.  Only Ireland is a home power of Dublin, as indicated by the color of the space.

You know, you should be mindful about the rolleyes and attitude, Habs. It makes playing this game an even less fun experience.  :rolleyes:

Next time if you don't want newbs, say so when recruiting.

Off to Garbon.

If you don't want rolleyes, don't resort to them yourself, Drakken, else you look like a hypocrite.  If you think I am seriously hammering you over this stuff rather than merely poking fun, you should grow a thicker skin--Tamas takes his badgering in stride, you'll note.

I'd have completely fucked it up if my conversions went better. :D
