Ok so we have two guys advantaged by it (me and you) say it's ok.

Me wanting to cahnge has nothing to do with me getting an advantage. Just seems silly to play one way when we know that for all time, the game will be played another way.

Especially since I played both turns of the game assuming the rule was written in the sensible manner, rather than this insensible manner. I think we all did, in fact.

In any case, we are waiting on Drakken anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter.

If anything, it actually harms me...
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'm fine predicting what the errata say, not that I am going to have any impact on this game anyway.

Also, where is my treasure on the board - it should have come home with Hawkins?

maybe you should attack Spain! You would have done something then!

Drakken

#682
a) Elizabeth of Austria marries Charles IX of France
b) HRE offers the hand of Anna of Austria to the Earl of Arras, Protestant, as a token of good will.
c) Given the separate "peace" between Spain and the Ottomans, and as we discussed no agreement to explicitely reconduct it, the alliance with Spain is not reconducted this turn.
d) No peace is made with the Ottomans this turn, so the war continues.

Drakken takes the worse offer for marriage for some reason.

Off to Garbon to confirm stuff.

The Protestants accept the marriage of Henry IV to Marguerite de Valois and the Earl of Arran to Anna of Austria. The Protestants also send a card to France.

I doubt Tamas has any new wars to declare, so...

Off to Berkut.

France is a peaceul (and currenlty drunk) kingdom.

No war from me.

Assuming no one's declaring on anyone, TAmas is up to SD.
