It was a near-run thing, but HRE finally wins with 5 hits against 4.

EDIT: Whoops, inverted it. I lose 4 mercs, and  Tamas 5 units.  :blush:

It's fun watching two players burn piles of CPs to no effect, I gotta say.
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.

Not my fault if Tamas bleeds me even with a 1.5-to-1 dice advantage for me. His dice rolls are rather lucky.

Would normally Tamas would lose 4 cavalries and 1 regular?

That is the most logical loss, yes.

No, but there are cheaper ways to gain VPs.  That you burned your home card to press the attack yet again is just good thrown after bad.

Tamas needs to retreat in some fashion from Belgrade.  He can leave up to 4 units + a leader in the city to hold it, but someone's gotta go.

On top of that, per Drakken's posting on ACTS, one of those regulars was left in Szigetvar--his leaders only allow him to bring along 14 troops maximum.  He did roll the correct number of dice, at least.

I knew that the max number of units was the total rating of the two leaders. :rolleyes:

Fixed.

Tamas, is it worth a card from you next turn for me to nuke Drakken's mercenaries via play of German Recruitment Curtailed?  He'd be down to 6 regulars + his leaders in the space--IE, highly unlikely to take the city.

Message from Protestants:
1-2/5 Piracy in North Atlantic

Le Clerc was damaged by Portuguese forces. Rolls one die for being damaged and then 1 for his piracy rating.

Hit scored, Berk to decide on reward.

3/5 - Weakened Le Clerc limps off to Atlantic and drops of colony in Montreal.

Good luck, then.

You're up, by the way...
