Here Languish Stands Again

[Tamas]

Thanks for stealing my card France, how better everyone will be with the Ottomans out of the bottle and free to roam

Buda is theirs with no losses, and they kill 2 of my squadrons for the price of one French.

#81: 3 / Indulgence Vendor

Message from Hapsburgs:
Draw a card at random from the Protestant hand. Add the CP value of the drawn card to the Papal fund for St. Peter's construction. Card is then discarded

TAMAS, it's official from now on you do all my rolling

Buda falls without loss and I kill two fleets for one ottoman one. Can't lose the french fleet until I've already lost an ottoman one first.

[Solmyr]

Someone gonna send a file?

Bah! You should thank the other players who carry your water in these games. Solmyr in the last one, and Max in this.

Discarded my card.  +3 CP to St Pete's.

Play Card as Operations

#90: 5 / Printing Press

Message from England:
1-4/5: 4 mercs in Berwick
5/5: Move to Edinburgh

By the way sbr, you cannot assault Mainz right now since you have no LOC. You'll need to flag Kassel or Nuremberg so there's LOC to your electorates.

#12: 2 / Master of Italy

Message from France:
Italy has no master

2/2 send an explorer

Calling another debate in Germany.  SBR, you still keeping Luther out?

[Solmyr]

Technically you have to roll for the normal debaters first.

[ulmont]

Technically you have to roll for the normal debaters first.

Nope:

Exception to Steps 2 and 3: If this debate was called with the Leipzig Debate Home card, the Papal player can either select his own attacker or specify that one Protestant debater is not available to defend during any round of this debate. Likewise, the Protestant player may play Here I Stand at this time to substitute Luther for another debater (attacking or defending), as long as this debate is occurring in Germany. Here I Stand may be used to substitute Luther even if the Papacy already specified that Luther was not available with Leipzig Debate and even if Luther is committed.

Although Ed Beach seems to have played it differently on CSW, not that I see a ruling, so what the hell, rolling.

Campeggio (2) / Bucer (2).

[Solmyr]

It says "substitute Luther for another debater" which presumably means you have another debater lined up prior to that.

[sbr]

I'll stand

[ulmont]

I'll stand

Bucer hands Campeggio his ass, 4-0.  Campeggio disgraced, sbr up to pick the spaces and play.

[sbr]

Alright I am done.

I flipped Koln, Trier, Strasburg, Basel from the debate.

Controlled Nuremberg and successfully assaulted Mainz.  Started work on English NT.

I think I got the VP thing right.  I get 2 VPs for getting an Electorate but the Hapsburgs only lose 1, right?

EDIT:  I added the regular unit from Mainz to my stack by taking a 2 unit piece out but I didn't remove the 1 regular from the Electorate Display up top.  Could someone do that please?
