Oh can someone decrease the Spanish VP by 1 in CB (from 17 to 16)? I made the adjustment in ACTS.

@Kat - looks like you forgot to change up VP on CB/ACTS according to how many protestant provinces you have.

That is weird, ACTS has the wrong event text on Nostradamus. The way it is supposed to read is you get to look at four cards (8 if France), keep one of them and shuffle the rest of them back into the deck... Never heard of ACTS having the wrong version of cards before? Anyway, should not be too difficult to fix your impulse.

Anyway Katmai, looks like the floor is open for a little rebelling in the Netherlands?

Problem is I need to go to bed so will miss Kat's impulse again and I cannot jump the gun this time... Oh well, good luck. :)

As has been posted on CSW and BGG and other places, the ACTS version is tailored specifically for PBEM play.  The "real" version of Nostradamus is very annoying to implement on ACTS.
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.

Quote#69: 3 / Tenth Penny

Message from Protestants:
Rebellion in Antwerp

the one and only hit removes the Wallon infantry and Antwerp is freed from Dastardly Spanish control!

Per control space rules, Ghent & Flushing also both fall under Protestant political control.

Flushing becomes Dutch Capitol and 2 Dutch regulars in Antwerp.

Why did you pick Flushing as your capital? Because of inland waterway rules, Antwerp is safer place now that you also have Flushing. Additionally as a key, Antwerp can't be flopped to Spanish control by events like Council of Troubles.

Yeah I thought it was something like that. :hug:

That or you just love putting capitals in non-key fortified spaces. :P

When you put the square control marker back on their powercard, you can see the VP drop. For Spain, I believe it is just 1 vp per key.

Oh and reminder that you can have a leader appear during rebellion if you'd like.
