Here Languish Stands Again

I am pretty sure I did the assault on Mainz wrong 2 turns ago, not that it mattered, and I want to make sure I do this right from now on.

Since the troops in the Electorates are mine, I am not fighting them I am just trying to control the space.  That means I use the rules for no land defenders which means I get a die for each unit, instead of each 2, and I only need one hit to flip the space, no matter how many of my units are in the space.

Is that right?

Solmyr

Correct, electorates are empty unless Tamas puts some units in them, so you get full dice and need one hit to win.

sbr

I can't imagine tamas would do that to me  since I didn't just erase all his mercs again.

Solmyr

I can't imagine he'd do that to you when he should be zerg-rushing France. But then, he isn't doing that either, so... :P

Solmyr

By the way, this is a good time to point out that Protestants can easily win a religious victory by pumping out translations.

#42: 4 / Roxelana

Message from Ottoman:
hmmm... Wonder which card I just got from Tamas? Could it possibly be this one? If it were this would would that explain the hysterics he has shown us?

2/4 Sully + 5R to Tunis and assault
4/4 Piracy North African Coast

Since Tamas will surely spend his valuable cards to prevent Max from Chateux'ing himself to victory (BY TAKING MILAN ffs) I can be sure that he will not play any cards. But to be on the safe side I'll let Tamas roll the 5 dice vs 2 dice assault on Tunis. I'll roll the piracy.

Piracy Dice North African Coast 2. 1 for 1 Corsair, 1 for Barbarossa.

One hit from Piracy. Tamas can pick card or VP, assuming VP in file sent. Tamas must still resolve assault on Tunis.

Horny Suleiman fails the assault and loses a regular. But gains a VP from Piracy

This dice thing ceased to be funny a long time ago.

It still is, kinda.

Ottoman dice vs Hapsburg dice this turn

Ottomans
3+2+5 = 10 dice, 1 hit. 10% hit rate.

Hapsburgs
1+1+2 = 4 dice, 3 hits. 75% hit rate.

but the general theme of me hitting at half the expected rate and tamas hitting at twice the expected rate continues.

Playing HC, placing Henry to Besancon

2/5: squadron to Cagliari
3/5: 2 squadrons from Cagliari to Barbary Coast
5/5: 1r 2m from Antwerp to Köln

Ottoman interception fails, but Protestants have the option to intercept at Liege

Since the Habsburg-Protestant slugfest doesn't affect me, I'll go ahead and make my play.

Message from England:
1/3: Henry assaults Edinburgh again. English 6 vs Scottish 2 (should only be 1 Scots unit in there).

Max can play combat cards and roll the dice.

sbr

No intercept.

I knew I should have erased Tamas' mercs since he wouldn't ever use them against someone who can actually win the game.
