QuoteFrance: Play Card as Operations
#43: 1 / Experienced Pilot [RESPONSE]

Message from France:
Raise a mercenary in Lyons.

Off to Drakken.
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.

Damn, forgot to update # of Protestant spaces in CB.

Jeromey, can I get an answer before I move?

I will play it when it is convenient for me.  At the moment, I am somewhat preoccupied with a pending invasion by Germans and with a rebellion by Garbon who you will notice is probably going to end the turn at around 22-23 VPs.

At least, assuming he doesn't win outright.  He seems rather unconcerned about the English.  Then again, same goes for Drakken, since he seems to think Irish Rebellion can't possibly hurt the English.

Does that mean you will be playing it this turn?

Let's be real. With the amount of death waiting to be rained down upon the Netherlands, there's very little chance of me ending up with that many VPs - let alone winning out right.

I'll grant you though that this is true. I tried get Drakken to handle that last turn around but he said that'd be of no use to him.

Drake moves to the Spanish Main and successfully pirates another 2 VP.

Almost certainly the game there.
