Yeah, but considering the number of events that can mess with England that are in the deck, I'm not sure it's all that easy.  It's a balancing act.  Their connection to the rest of the board is definitely rather indirect, though, barring an Armada landing.
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.

Maybe but there are more than a fair amount of events that mess with Spain/France/Protestants as well in rather rapid reversal of fortunes type ways.

Oh, I don't think England is hard to hurt, just that the means of doing so are all indirect. There are a LOT of ways to screw England, and a Spain dedicated to doing so can do a number on them.

Just wish England had a more direct role in the continent as well - HIS does this very nicely, IMO.

But on some level that's because of what happened in that period vs. VQ period.  Only thing I think they could go better is England's troop involvement in Netherlands. Right now it consists of just that one card and there doesn't seem much incentive for England or Protestants to want English troops in the Netherlands.

One day, Tamas will send a file with his SD.

After that, presumably Berkut will post his SD and send a file.

If it happens this weekend and not today before 5, I won't be sending a file as I'll be at the beach - so I can make moves but no files.

I'd like to point out that usually there was one guy doing SDs in the past. Must be all your absence from the game making you forget. :P But I'll send a replay, shortly

I would like to point out that you have to pick your home card during your SD.  You have had to do this for the last four turns.  How you could forget that is beyond me.

No, we are still waiting on Tamas, actually.  Which is sad, since he seems to be perfectly capable of playing his other game.

Here is my quoted post, too, just in case it's not obvious (which it is) who's up.
