Habsburg armies lose 6-2, what a fucking disaster of epic proportions.

At least we know you don't have any combat cards.

I know Tamas is losing, but who's winning?  France, now?
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.

Tamas is still winning. One point ahead of Max, ulmont and sbr, I'm three points behind and solmyr is way out of it.

Sent the file, hopefully correct as there was a numbering mixup.

Because nothing says "sane Protestant player" like "playing event cards for the Hapsburgs."

Woof.  I hope the English/Habsburgs paid a good price for that.  Monty getting the axe is srs biznes.

QuoteOttoman: Play Card as Operations
#52: 4 / Michelangelo

Message from Ottoman:
1/4 Fleet to North African Coast
2/4 Uberstack Suleiman, Ibrahim 15Reg,1Cav move to pressburg
3/4 Mark Pressburg
4/4 Attack Ferdinand in Vienna

Am certain he will not intercept (since he can only do that with 6 dudes). He can try to evade a with separate formations.

OK, Tamas, what are you going to do, fight or make multiple evasion attempts by parts of your army.

He can hide with 4, evade with 6+leader and evade with 1 if he wants to try, or he can stand and fight. Remember my cavalry makes evading harder. I believe he will stand and fight, but I need some sort of confirmation.

If there is one thing that I have learned in boardgames where point accumulation matters is to point at the person I actually think is winning. If the other players see it they see it, if they don't they don't. Me telling them is just going to piss them off.

I need 9 piracy or a tamasite surrender after losing vienna and 6 piracy to win. England needs 1 vp and full conversion. France needs to find 3 vp somewhere and be allowed to chateux out the game. Tamas is a conquest + circumnav + 1 key away from winning while both solmyr and sbr are far away point wise and opportunity wise.

Tamas is the only player that can win this turn, so he is the leader. Me, ulmont and Max all need a few more points before we can try turtling to victory. So, yes, Tamas is leading, Max in second, me and ulmont in joint third and the religious nuts in joint 5th. But, as I said, me telling people this doesn't do me any good.

QuoteOttoman: Message
The Battle is

Suleiman, Ibrahim 15 Regulars and 1 Cav against
Ferdinand 7 Regulars and 2 Mercs.

2 + 15 + 1 = 18 ottoman dice
vs.
1 + 1 + 7 + 2 = 11 hapsburg dice

Response Cards
Cards with the name of the card in blue and the word “Response”
printed on them are Response cards. Response cards are playable as
an event in the Action Phase during any player’s impulse (including
your own). Play of a Response card interrupts a player’s impulse, a
battle, or an Event card play. Players should allow a reasonable
amount of time for play of a Response card by another player after
each action, event, naval combat, or assault. Response cards can
also be played for CPs during a player’s impulse if a player does not
wish to use the card’s special ability to interrupt another player.

Quote1 / Landsknechts
RESPONSE If played by Hapsburgs, place 4 new Hapsburg mercenaries. If played by Ottomans, they eliminate 2 mercenaries anywhere on map. If played by any other power, place 2 new mercenaries. Mercenaries are placed in any combination of spaces already containing friendly land units (even just before a field battle or assault), but not in a stack under siege. May also be used as an event card to add mercenaries in a player's own impulse
