Drak - commanders have Battle Rating and Command Rating. I think it is pretty clear that p.19 is referring to highest Battle Rating.

Henri III had 8 Command Rating - and 0 Battle Rating.  :rolleyes:

I'm not really sure why I'm getting the roll-eyes because you took command rating to be referenced in that section rather than battle rating.
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."
I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Not at you, but at the rule. As interpreted it makes it totally useless to ever have leaders at 0 Battle Rating in the game, except in the rarest circumstances a leader is killed or captured. Every player will place two leaders together to maximize the number of land units under theirjoint command, and as most of them have 1 Battle Rating it means almost all formation will have a +1 dice due to having any leader with that rating.

To me, the rule resembled how it was in EU2 and Historical EU3: The leader with the highest Command Rating was the one whose bonuses were applied, and as Henri III is the King and has 0BR it means there's no dice bonus. Made sense to me, Henri III was more busy fooling around with his mignons than getting interested in military affairs.

That's a very large and completely silly assumption.  Can you really not imagine a situation in which someone might keep their two leaders separated?
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 if you want to have a fighting chance against someone who doesn't.

Yeah, I'm sure there's never going to be a situation in which someone has enough troops to send two stacks off against divergent targets like, say, two different fortified spaces.  :wacko:

Figures Garbon would hit both the two 6s he needed to convert Paris and the 6 needed to actually take it.  Sigh.

En avant!

QuotePlaying homecard for CPs.

1-2/5 - Preaching a sermon in France.
Rouen converts followed by Boulogne, Paris and Amiens.

3-5/5 3 CP rebellion in Paris.
Paris falls to Huguenot forces - Amiens, Boulogne also flip.

I'm going to wait to see what Tamas does since, you know, it's his turn.

Didn't I tell that I am going to pass?

In fact, I will pass out the turn unless bothered by someone who doesn't know better.

No, I don't see anything like that after your most recent play.
