 :hug:

I count 8 units and a leader in Poland and your only remaining units on the board are 2 regulars and Schwendi in Pressburg, correct?

The Poles will still be 5 guys, I cannot deny you the chance to earn a victory point since you so graciously gave me that same chance.  :sleep:

Except if the Polish War goes bad (like we've seen foreign wars do), I'll be a sitting duck. Especially as you decided not to Spanish Road into Hungary, apparently.

Yeah, I couldn't possibly do that on a later impulse.  I mean, it has to be my first, right?   :rolleyes:
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.

Well you have extra incentive to do it now. :P

Del: Correct. You may take our lives, but you will never take our freedom!

France declines to intercept

Message from France:
1-2/4 Suppress Heresy in France
Nantes, Chartres and Orleans convert. Last hit dropped.

3/4 - Villegaignon and free colony to Guinea Coast
4/4 - Villegaignon to South Atlantic and found colony in Rio de la Plata

Polish war drags on while Schwendi fortifies Presburg. Over to sorely oppressed Protestants.

Oh and Del, I will preemptively not give you tribute. :P

Well, you do not have to, technically Spain gets the first opportunity so all you have to do is convince your master i Mordrid to pay. :goodboy:

I honestly hope you and garbon are promised a crapload of goodies at some point for all you did for Habbaku this turn. Alliances, mercs, galleys, even a French woman for hapless Don Carlos.  :yeahright:

I'm sure you do hope that Spain bankrupts herself in doing things that mutually benefit those it makes deals with.
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.

France would have enjoyed that. :)

Indeed.  Is there anyone who wouldn't want that?  I'm trying to figure out why Del is stating the obvious, but it's not coming to me.

Although I suppose Katmai's play could potentially affect me in some small way in that it might hurt our common enemy Spain, in my infinite benevolence I will go ahead and post my move anyway.

Just to get it out of the way I will use my imaginary Selim II card's 2 cp to build a cavalry in Szegedin and a corsair in Corona (sp?).

Unfortunately, Slowmai's move may very well affect mine, so I'll have to wait.

:lol:

So that's how you sold it, I was wondering about that. Ask yourselves this then. Habbaku is clearly the best and most experienced player. Is it really a good idea to trust such a player, presuming that he does not indulge in charity?
