Berkut's up to make the rest of his plays, in that case.

Ulmont should jump in here and state that he is definitely not playing anything else, though.
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.

It's probably best to stop highlighting your own incompetence.

On the bright side of things, all is not lost.  Presumably, Drakken won't ally with Spain again next turn and may, in fact, declare war on them--to take the rather poorly-defended city of Buda.

But what if it's the only thing he's got going for him?

Took Istanbul, Salonika, Sofia, and Finica

Built a troop, fortress, etc., etc.

I am done.

Even though I drew a really insane number of cards that turn, as you can see, most of them were pretty poor CP wise.

Harsh toke, man.

Tamas has no one but himself to blame, of course.  Well, he can blame Drakken a bit, I suppose, but that won't really stick.

Ottoman winter is...well, actually, they can't winter anyone because Tamas lost Istanbul.  :nelson:

Spanish posted their winter.

English have no real winter that I can see.

France winters 3 regulars and Montmorency from La Rochelle to Paris.  1 mercenary from Boulogne goes to Paris as well.

HRE may winter 4 troops in Szigetvar (and I'm going to assume they do so), but the rest must go to Vienna.  They could winter some more stuff in Agram, but...that leaves them rather inflexible.

Protestant has no possible winter.

Doing some winter stuff now, but I do need to know what Drakken's selecting for winter--1 regular, 2 mercenaries or 4 mercenaries to the pool?

Not that I want to but don't I have winter available for my dude in Amsterdam?

You do, but I assumed you wanted to keep him there due to religious implications (same reason most of my fortified spaces have a regular in them).

Ulmont has the option as to where to winter the damaged Hawkins as well--he may go home or stop in Florida.

The Aging of the Royals resulted in :

Charles IX looking a bit older (down to a '2')
William of Orange maintaining his fine, handsome features.
The Earl of Arran affecting the latest fashions to conceal his aging.
Charles II settling for a Bavarian bride.

Meanwhile, Elizabeth of England ages gracefully into her 30s.  She is still quite eligible!

Bonus VPs :

1 to France for control of Paris.
1 to England for unwed Elizabeth.

I just wanted to make sure that I understood wintering - properly :)
