Ottoman fleets converge on the Adriatic and pirate the HRE for 1 hit, which has to be VP since the HRE can't give anything else up.  Over to Max.

sbr, max is passing unless something interesting happens.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

I can tell you that barring something truly amazing, next play is going to be a 3 ops card for a scientist and then pass out the turn, leaving 4+0 in Belgrade, wintering everyone else from Belgrade to Istanbul, and putting the fleet in Scutari.

The only significant thing to happen before rolling for EOT is Tamas telling us if he wants mercs for himself, diplomacy or the 1 regular.

Treasure isn't in my hand, Hawkins and the treasure and stilll in the New World.  They will both be returning home during Winter to be used next turn.

Darnley and Don Carlos drop out of the running, Charles of Austria becomes more decrepit, Le Roi Charles IX keeps his boyish good looks.

Ronsard (11) gains 1 VP, writing Les Amours. Taqi al-Din (10) gains 1 VP or a bonus, as the Sultan chooses.

VP-wise, Protestants are the big winners this turn, advancing by 7 VP, mainly due to benevolence of the French king.

Hand sizes for turn 3, by my reckoning:

Ottomans: 7=4+2 saved+1 bonus
Spain: 6=4+1 saved+1 bonus
England: 5=2+2 saved+1 bonus
France: 6=4+1 saved+1 marker
HRE: 5=4+1 marker
Protestants: 9=6+2 saved+1 marker

Will end turn/deal cards shortly.

Btw, I moved the English fleet to London but sbr can of course move it to another port on the North Sea if he wants.

Ulmont should also choose 1 VP or science bonus.
