By the way sbr, you probably know this already, but I recommend using your HC to pick up Printing Press and save it for next turn. And remember to roll the Breslau conversion.

That's pretty much a game winning move, playing printing press every turn and picking it up with the HC each turn pretty much wins the game for the Protestant since it gives one extra die per reformation attempt for the rest of the turn, not just impulse.

The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Attacker has to retreat where he came from, so he had to go to Boulogne. But since he didn't flag it, he couldn't go there, hence destruction.

Except he cannot pick it up again if he plays it as event.

Hey, I took a risk (although I didn't realize it worked like that). Max took a risk too, since if he lost, his army would have been destroyed instead.
Yea I had a bit of a brain fart on that one. I was saving the cps to attack Calais, but decided against it. As it was there was no reason not to flag boulogne

You also cannot attack Calais (or at least, not siege or assault it), because I have more ships in the Channel than you.

Maximus

Good thing I decided against it then :D

Speaking of which:

Quotetwo cards

First, play chin

Teleport Chuckie to Besancon

1/5 Move Freddy plus regulars to Besancon
3/5 Move Chin+Freddy plus 5R+1M to Lyon
5/5 Move Chin plus 3R to Marseilles

Second, play 3 CP card
1/3 flag geneva
2/3 assault Lyon 4 dice vs 2 dice
3/3 assault Marseilles 5 dice vs 2 dice
The way I read it, Charles couldn't move out of Lyons the same impulse it was put under siege. Am I wrong?
