What do you feel is missing from the player-aids?  I think they have just about everything you could want on them.

Garbon/Berkut are winning at the moment.  Or will be when the turn's up, anyway.
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.

Having said that I think VQ is underdeveloped - the rules are not near the quality of HIS and the players aides suffer from omissions. But that is just my opinion of course.

I'd agree on that.

Quote from: Delirium on June 14, 2012, 02:53:36 PMSo, who is winning?

He'll say it'll be changed soon but as of the current moment - Habbs.

LOL.

France is winning by a moderate margin, but has just had war declared on them by Spain.

England is doing rather well, the Ottomans got spanked early but is almost out of that mess, and the HRE has been banging themselves against a wall of Turks to great effect.

As long as you consider a lot of dead Turks and proto-Germans "great effect" anyway.

I definitely don't disagree that I'm winning at the immediate moment assuming we're only counting VPs.

But it's impossible to look at the situation and think that that will be the case at the end of the turn.  I can likely keep myself in the same VP region, but won't gain anything this turn while Spain and the Protestants will bump themselves a few points each.  Possibly more in the Protestants's case.

England is doing rather well

Considering the lack of Catholic presence in England or, indeed, any enemies whatsoever, I would say they are doing more than rather well.

Drake is going to prove troublesome.

SD: Sokolku, 1 regular and 1 cavalry to Belgrade, just in case.

Selection of HC, plus enactment of the spanish-turko deal have been sent in the file, but of course the spanish forces from Greece must be dsplaced properly by Berkut

Adjusted Spanish and Protestant VP totals in acts post negotiations.

French SD : 1 mercenary, 1 regular to Lyons.

Off to Drakken to SD.

On an unrelated note, I have to wonder why Garbon didn't marry Louise off to anyone.

If only there had been an appealing offer.
