Here Languish Stands Again

[Viking]

I feel partially redeemed for my poor dice luck earlier in the game.

note, expect any and all naval moves to be intercepted.

Ottoman: Play Card as Operations
#94: 2 / Revolt of the Communeros

Message from Ottoman:
1/2 Doomfleet raids caligari retreats to barbary coast
2/2 Doomfleet raids las palmas retreats to GOL

Note, surplus casualties will be taken as fleets not corsairs. I can't afford to run out of those.

I'm not playing combat cards, Leaving it to Tamas and Max to roll dem bones. (for two reasons, to give both the opportunity to play cards and cause when I roll the results are crap).

Ottomans raid remaining "allied" fleets and end up in gulf of lyon. This is what you schmucks get for placing your fleets in multi zone ports, I can port raid and move at the same time.

Remember no corsairs as losses.

[Tamas]

Reading the rules, I conclude that you have no choice - a single hit on you (like in cagliari just now), eliminates a corsair

[Tamas]

Ottomans destroy the allied fleets. Again.


Playing HC:

1/5: Charles, 5r2m to Worms

Protestant interception roll was successful so I await their decision on wether do it or not.

sigh... why couldn't you hit twice.... or even better, why couldn't I not fight with the corsairs... when I think about it, If I had declined to use the corsair in the port raids I could have achieved the same results... only having 3 corsairs left rather than 2.

[Solmyr]

What was the point of the Pope giving Ottomans all his cards, again?

Anyhow, as I'll most likely be publishing a treatise, sbr can also decide whether he'll let me commit Cranmer for it.

Might as well use the army if I have it, right?.  I will intercept.

Looking at the rules I have a question about my first impulse of this turn, when I moved John and some units from Wittenburg to Augsburg.  Someone said Tamas had a chance to intercept that move but:

• Formations moving into a friendly fortified space that is not
under siege may not be intercepted.

Am I misreading or was that a mistake?  It doesn't matter either way, I am just curious for the future.

[Tamas]

roll the battle plz, no card from me.

After playing the Schmalkaldic League at the earliest possible moment?  No I don't think so.

Go ahead I am leaving for work right now. I have no cards either.

I've spread as much information/disinformation as I need on the subject, so I'll stop now.
