Quote#67: 3 / Spanish Pay Ships Seized

Message from Ottoman:
In recognition of our common enemy the Sultan wishes to extend his best wishes to the Protestant leadership by the joyful news of the apprehension of Spanish pay ships foolishly travelling through the Mediterranean by our pirates.

We have helped ourselves to an extra card, Spain to remove two regulars and then take their impulse.
Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen, and keep your eyes wide the chance won't come again; but don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin, and there's no telling who that it's naming. For the loser now will be later to win, cause the times they are a-changin'. -- B Dylan

#31: 5 / Treachery!

Message from Spain:
For CPs :

1-4/5 - Raise 2 galleys in Messina.
5/5 - Raise a mercenary in Cartagena.

Off to Szmik.
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.

Quote2 / Elite Troops [COMBAT]

Message from England:
2/2 Piracy in The Channel against froggies

1 squadron lost, 1 hit against French, up to Garbon to decide where to allocate. Not that I don't know the obvious :)

I put eliminated unit to military units tray as I doubt I'm going to build more than 3 squadrons anyway.

That's why Martinus, for all his spending on the trappings of wealth and taste, will never really have class.  He's just trying too hard to be something he isn't (an intelligent, tasteful gentleman), trying desperately to hide what he is (Polish trash with money and a severe behavioral disorder), and it shows in everything he says and does.  He's not our equal, not by a mile.

Seems to me that you should've used that same 2 CP card to attack both his squadrons in port.  You'd be rolling 6 vs. 3 dice each time and, though you'd stand a small chance of losing due to his being the defender, would be more likely to blow up both squadrons--thus freeing the Protestants to spread their virus and you to pirate more successfully later on.

Hey I just noticed that the turn 2 scientists/artists were never moved into the pool. I'll change that in my file.

Actually I think I just fucked up. I think Prophecies is out of game so instead I'll have to use the spring deploy option.

Martinuses crushed by Zrinyi. Over to Protestants.

Habs, can you discard the active war in ACTS?

QuoteI will use my Ottoman Tribute HC for 5 cp.
1-2/5 build two corsairs in Corona.
3/5 naval move to Aegean Sea.
4-5/5 piracy against France.

Dragut sails with reinforcements to attack the lone Venice port. Characteristically he lands two hits, so he must receive a victory point and a card.

I am at the in-laws and no access to CB, hoping that somebody may be so kind as to implement my move to their file.
