Instead I will use Papal Bull as ops and call a debate in English.

You might want to consider using Papal Bull to excommunicate Cranmer and then call a debate in England.

  Yeah I'll do that.

It's not a clear-cut choice.  If you just call a debate, you can make sure you go against Tyndale committed.  If you excom Cranmer, you won't be able to excom him next turn, but you might get Latimer uncommitted and all that...

I'll Wartburg the Bull if it's used as event to excom Cranmer.

Of done deal then, that is what I am doing.

Philip of Hesse handily takes Mainz. Meanwhile, the Reformation kicks off in central England.

Why would I have been sure to go against Tyndale committed if I just called a debate?

Tyndale was the only committed debater in the English zone.

3. Choosing the Defender: The power initiating the debate has two options when choosing who to target with a theological attack. They may either:

• choose a random enemy debater from the pool of committed enemy debaters (of the proper language zone if the target is the Protestant), OR
• choose a random enemy debater from the pool of uncommitted enemy debaters (again of the proper language zone if the target is the Protestant).

So you could have picked "versus committed" and guaranteed Tyndale as an opponent.

Oh right, I was looking at an older file.

Prottys take Mainz but don't report it here.... so.. it's my turn now.

Playing Home Card for OPs

1/5 Ibrahim and 4 Reg to Graz (will roll for interception)

Interception Failed - continuing turn

2/5 Ibrahim and 3 Reg to Mohacs (leaving 1 reg in Graz)
4/5 Tag Mohacs and Graz
5/5 Sulemain and 7 Regs assault defenseless vienna

Ottoman: Message
Vienna falls to ottomans taking 1 casualty.

Now to deal with scumbag Gyppos.

[ulmont]

While it doesn't matter, you rolled 3 too few dice for the assault.  An attacker gets 1 die per non-cavalry land unit if the key is defenseless.

If against a fortified space with no defending units:
• 1 die for each land unit in the assaulting formation (cavalry units are ignored)
• 1 die for each Battle Rating point from the highest-rated leader in the assaulting force

If against a fortified space with 1 or more defending units:
• 1 die for every 2 land units in the assaulting formation (cavalry units are ignored), round fractions up
• 1 die for each Battle Rating point from the highest-rated leader in the assaulting force

[Viking]

I realize that after rolling and I also realized that it didn't matter (except that that last roll could have been a miss, but I don't get to benefit from making mistakes).. so I didn't worry too much.

#63: 4 / Dissolution of the Monasteries

Message from Hapsburgs:
English player draws 2 cards from deck. Protestant player then makes 3 Reformation attempts targeting the English language zone. Remove from deck if played as event.


no file, obviously
