Btw Viking, the file you sent was numbered 28 and completely ignores the previous file numbered 28 which had all the winters and such.

I sent a file that included everything that needed to be done in turn 2, plus the Ottoman move.

#70: 4 / Charles Bourbon

Message from Hapsburgs:
1/4: naval move: squadron in Naples to Tyrrhenian Sea, squadrons in Gibraltar and Palma to Barbary Coast. rolling for possible interception

Ottomans could intercept, the odds are actually not THAT bad for them. Viking?

Nope, go ahead.

6 attack dice vs 5 defense dice.

2 corsairs and 1 hapsburg squadron bite the dust, Barbarossa returns next turn.

4/4: Duke of Alva and 5 regulars ship off to Algiers, hopefully to start a siege

I assume the Ottomans will not take the field battle (though it could be lucrative for them!), so I'll send out a file

Odds in field combat 6 vs 3
Odds in siege 4 vs 3


on average you'll need two assaults to take Algiers with the force you have.

Tamas's point, Viking, is that a field battle is potentially disastrous for the Habsburgs in that situation.  Go look at the retreat rules.  If he loses that battle (remember, defender wins ties), his entire force is wiped out and Alva would be captured.
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 know that, but, unlike tamas, I don't win long odds hopeless battles. If the field battle had normally left one defender alive I would have fought, but 6 dice kill 2 duudes on average.

Six dice hit two times or more 65% of the time and if they only hit once I still hit 0 times in 30% of the time. Basically Tamas has an 80% chance of victory.

Do you have your home card unplayed?

No, I would have fought if I still had it.

QuoteEngland: Play Card as Event

#100: 2 / Shipbuilding

Message from England:
Not playable by Protestant. Add 2 new squadrons in any controlled home port (or 1 squadron in each of two home ports). Ottoman may choose to substitute 2 corsairs for each naval squadron (but still may not construct squadrons in Algiers or a pirate haven).

Building 2 fleets in Calais.

Over to Max.
