I guess he is forcing me to play

#50: 4 / Council of Troubles

Message from Spain:
Playable if 5 land units controlled by Spain (other than Walloons) are in the Netherlands. Remove William of Orange from the map for the rest of the turn. Spain takes 8 Catholic Conversion attempts that affect spaces in the Netherlands. The first die is automatically a "6"; the rest are rolled randomly. Afterwards, Spain may regain political control of up to 3 unoccupied, non-key spaces currently under Protestant political control in the Netherlands. Give a +1 Card marker to the Protestant. Remove from deck if played as event.

Not sure why, but whatever.

Hope the Dutch troops enjoy winter attrition.
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.

Sounds right to me, unless Berkut wants to play his last card?

French winter : 2 mercenaries from Marseilles and 1 mercenary from Orleans to Paris.

Nantes dude to La Rochelle. If I'm reading the rules correctly then I think Maurice shows up outside Antwerp with 5 bloodied regulars.

Message from France:
Protestants control 8 French home spaces. Need a 4+ for the Catholic League to be formed.

What do we say to the Catholic League when they try to form?

Not today! :yeah:

All of the royals that are of marriageable age proceed off the track and retire to their rent-boys or spinster-wives.

Elizabeth of England never marries and the Earl of Leicester stops holding out for her.  +1 Virgin Queen VP (the last of them).

Paris is held by the Catholic forces for yet another year.  +2 VPs for France.

Artists/Scientists :

Bautista returns to his work after producing nothing of note.

Tintoretto, in Italy, produces a great work of art for the glory of the HRE.  +2 VPs for the Emperor.

Seydi al Reis is hounded out of the Sublime Porte's graces and is likely executed quietly for his terrible waste of time.
