4/4 - 1 merc in Metz

Not legal.  Metz isn't home territory for France.  I assume that you'll raise that mercenary in Reims and then winter it to Metz, though.
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.

I would do winter stuff and end the turn, but Del is still holding his last card in ACTS.   :rolleyes:

Oops, yeah that. :D

Did what I could of winter stuff before I need to run again.

Anna and Philip's marriage results in Philip's murder--Spain loses its +1 card/2 admin rating for the rest of the game.

Don Carlos and Elisabeth de Valois, meanwhile, simply break off their marriage and return to the pool.

Will finish when I return, otherwise Del can finish after he plays his card.

Hmm...well I guessed that was a rule misunderstanding.

Fixing winter stuff.
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

Patronage results are in:

Brueghel is still working, returned to pool.
de Lorne composed 1 vp worth for France.
Bellaso hit upon either a vp for the HRE or a bonus, up to Solmyr.
Ali Reys managed to get exactly a 9, the only result that woulud get him back into the pool.

Very interesting given that de l'Orme was an architect. :D

Right, file sent. Winter stuff is done including new regulars, but not Spain's move. I'm sure I forgot something, but vp are calculated and we're ready for next turn. I think. Except that Solmyr has to pick a science reward.

All the more reason for everyone to be antagonistic to one-another and deny VPs where possible.

If you have Storms, stop someone's piracy attempts.  If you have Dragut Falls, play it.  If you have Northwest Passage, send someone's expedition off.  Spain isn't in any position to stop everyone by itself and, with the death of Philip, isn't goiing to try.
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.
