Languishing like a Virgin Queen

[Solmyr]

File sent, including Spanish winter.

To do:
English winter
HRE winter and choice of mercs/regulars.

Seydi al Reis is burned by the Inquisition (which apparently pursues Turks).

That is what you get for running around the catholic world claiming that scripture is everything. They'll get confused and think you are a heretic rather than an infidel.

do I still get her caligaesque dowry?

Since she did not actually marry, she has no husband, so no.

Meh, at least slick willy is still horny.

BTW, if he declines to a 1 marries, the marriage produces no vp does he return as a 2?; that is how I understand it.

[Solmyr]

Hand sizes for turn 2 according to my calculations:

Ottomans: 6 (4 +1 ruler +1 saved)
Spain: 6 (4 +1 ruler +1 saved)
England: 4 (3 +1 ruler)
France: 5 (4 +1 saved)
HRE: 5 (4 +1 saved)
Prots: 6 (5 +1 saved)

French and English colonies produce no treasure, but remain struggling in place.

Will change the turn and deal cards in ACTS after abovementioned winters and Max managing the treasures (move 2 to hand, one on turn track to treasure deck, shuffle, then deal new Spanish treasures for turn 2 onto the board).

Also sbr should pick a science bonus and I will make my scientist pick after.

If he does not declare a marriage at all then he gets an aging roll normally. Only if he has a wedding planned and it fails, he returns as a 2. Or actually, even if the wedding only produces +1 card and no VP.

I did this except the shuffle. Should I redo?

[Solmyr]

Shouldn't need to, you draw random treasures from the tray anyhow.

[Maximus]

That's what I figured. And since I had seen the first draw figured I'd let someone else make the call.

[sbr]

2 Regulars from Edinburgh and 1 Merc from Berwick will return to London.  All Galleons return to Portsmouth.

I will take Plantation as my bonus.

[Solmyr]

In that case I will pick Ravelin as my science bonus.

That's what I'm going for.


So, how about it mary or even liz... any of you slatterns want a roll in the hey with slick willy?

[Solmyr]

Oh, forgot about Coligny, Prots can place him on the map too if they want (and don't have to place William if they don't).

[Viking]

I can place them during SD. I was also wondering why you placed slick willy. I was also wondering why you didn't end the turn.

[Solmyr]

Because Tamas needs to do his winter.

[Viking]

Because Tamas needs to do his winter.

I predict:Tamas will do nothing in his winter.
