So, convert some French spaces back. Oh wait, you gave everything to the Turks.

I'm still waiting for an explanation of the brilliant idea behind it. :P

First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

#44: 2 / Affair of the Placards

Message from Protestant:
Publish Treatise. Commit Calvin for 3 attempts.

Somehow convinced Avignon to convert.

I am heading out and won't have access to CB for the next 36-48 hours so that will be my last turn until my Friday evening at the earliest.

Playing Home Card

1/5 - port strike with fleets (not corsairs) on hapsburg fleet.
2/5 - Army Linz to Prague.

I'll resolve the port strike and assume that prague garrison hides in city. I have lots of contingent stuff coming up. I'm assuming Tamas is out of combat cards.

5 Ottoman hits
1 Hapsburg hit

No ottoman losses (never bring corsairs to a naval battle :) ) since the extra hit rounds down
Hapsburgs lose three fleets since the extra hit rounds up.

Fleet returns to GOL to join corsairs. Army moves to Prague

4/5 Piracy in GOL with no defense dice.
5/5 Deathfleet moves to barbary coast.

1 hit from piracy, assuming Tamas gives me a VP rather than a card (since that is what he did last time).

BTW, in naval combat so far this turn

Ottoman Losses 2 corsairs (at least 1 was un-necessary), spent 6 cp on movement, 4 on piracy
French Losses 3 Fleets 1 Genoese Fleet, spent 2 cp on movement
Hapsburg Losses 5 Fleets

Total costs to Ottomans 12 CP gaining 2 VP
Total costs to Allies 20 CP

This feels like the exact reverse of the land campaign in hungary earlier in the game.

Tamas

Your naval luck is ridicoulous. It doesn't even worth it to unleash my naval trickery up my sleeves.

I am cursing Suleiman with gout though.

Tamas

Viking's unrelenting rush in proceedings give me the questionable but still legal opportunity to raise the question to the community, should I fire professional rovers after seeing the results, or give him as piracy reward? :P

I don't get to benefit from rushing ahead. By rushing ahead like I do I risk giving you choices like this. I suggest you honestly decide what you think you would have done without the future information and do that.

Regarding the gout. The fleet remains in GOL and Ibrahim with 5R + 1C moves to prague with the last CP

1/5 port strike
2/5 cancelled move
4/5 piracy
5/5 ibrahim 5R1C move to Prague
