Virgin Queen PBEM Recruitment

[Tamas]

Good luck, then.

You're up, by the way...

I retreat one unit to Nicopolis. leave the leader and 4 regulars holed up in Belgrade.

Then I pass in my impulse. One impulse only.


I don't have time for a file, sorry.

Berkut is up.

Drake scores one hit against the Portuguese in the S. Atlantic, after which some sort of Polish election is going to take place:

2 / Polish Royal Election [MANDATORY]
End any Foreign Wars between the Holy Roman Empire and Poland. Then, Spain, France, and the Holy Roman (if a player power) have the option to play a card or treasure to advance their candidate for the Polish throne. Reveal all choices simultaneously. Each power playing a card/treasure adds its CP value to the roll of one die. Power with the highest total becomes King of Poland and receives 2 VP, as long as their total exceeds 5. If highest total is 5 or less, no VP awarded (Ivan the Terrible becomes King of Poland). Remove from deck after play. [FAQ: Mandatory Events may not be played for the election; home cards may be. In the case of a tie, France scores the 2 VP if they are one of the tied powers. If not the Holy Roman scores the VP.]

[Berkut]

I sent my card choice to England.

[Drakken]

Gave one random card to England.

All my remaining cards had the same CP.

[garbon]

garbon can have a Portuguese treasure.

Question - Does my treasure go in my hand or does it stay with le Clerc as he didn't come back?

[Habbaku]

I played my election contribution (Henri le Invincible PAC) in ACTS (3 CPs).

To Ulmont to resolve.

The treasure stays with le Clerc until he returns home.

[ulmont]

HRE wins.

[Drakken]

I approve.

I will order around humbly request the Pope to come in Warsaw sanction the coronation himself.

[Tamas]

Drakken is down to his last card hm?

Habbaku, you have a deal! Eliminate his 4 (or how many) mercs from Belgrade and I give you a card draw next turn.

[Habbaku]

Played German Recruitment Curtailed to hit Drakken's mercenaries in Belgrade.  No file.

Off to Drakken.

[Habbaku]

HRE wins.

But Wisconsin said money could buy any election!

[ulmont]

HRE wins.

But Wisconsin said money could buy any election!

Chuck V also said money could buy any election...I think it goes to show that not matching all other candidates is where the problem is.

Holy Roman Empire: Play Card as Operations
#94: 3 / God's Secret Agents

Message from Holy Roman Empire:
3CP :
1/3 : 1 Merc built on Szigetvar
2/3 : Troops from Belgrade to Szigetvar
3/3 : Leaders + 7r1m from Szigetvar to Buda

[Habbaku]

Drakken, why are you rolling for a battle at Buda?  Tamas not only has the option to avoid battle there (succeeds on a 9+), but doesn't even have to fight you (and would be stupid to do so!) because he can retreat into the fortifications...You know, just like he did at Belgrade?

[Drakken]

Well in Belgrade he retreated into the barricades after the field battle, so I thought that it was the same in Buda : Field battle first, then whether he retreat or go into the barricades.

Why shouldn't I roll in Buda? I rolled in every single time I advanced against him so far. If Tamas wants to avoid combat, though, he is free to do so. I'll let you take it from there.
