Here Languish Stands game thread

[ulmont]

Negotiations are concluded.

Spring deployment:
Brandon and 3 regulars to Berwick

Wasn't there an announcement that needed to go along with this?

[Maximus]

Do I give you your card now? I figured that would be done in the action phase but you're probably right.

England gives a card to France.

[Solmyr]

Cards are given during the negotiations phase, since that immediately changes game state. Same with peace, alliances, wars, giving mercenaries, etc. On the other hand, playing a card on someone's behalf is done during the action phase, in your impulse, and is essentially non-enforceable.

Anyway, just need Papal spring deployment if any, then impulses can begin.

[sbr]

I had already announced there would he no spring deployment for the pope.

[Solmyr]

Okay, Viking is up to play then. Can you also incorporate everyone's SD into your file?

[Tamas]

I can't really Spring Deploy closer to Metz now can I?

I AM open to concedeing it if the French can come up with a reasonable offer on why we shouldn't fight for it.

Last I checked, Besancon was Habsburg territory.

:facepalm:

Anyway, as France is now rich (omg 5 cards), my offer to play Threat to Power on, say, Duke of Alva, is still open. Especially if you have some event that helps the Protestants.

I can offer a card draw and 2 mercs next turn for TTP against Alva now.

meh, I didn't feel like leaving vienna alone. didn't feel right.

[Habbaku]

That doesn't make any sense.

[Tamas]

I can't get mercs until Schmalkaldic League is played and my Rebel Base is established (i.e. earliest turn 3 diplo phase). I can accept a card draw next turn and 2 mercs as soon as I can receive them, though. If that is ok, I will play TTP on Alva this turn barring unforeseen Papal-induced disaster.
