Languishing some more.

HRE controls Trent and moves on Milan.  Over to Solmyr to decide if he's avoiding battle or not, and to resolve as needed.

[Solmyr]

I pick nr 2 on the track, first one available from the left.

Once I see the treasure I might return the pirate.

Sol, don't forget to bump me up 1 vp as well.

You get to pick from the two I moved off the track, the ones on it are still in the New World. You'll get the first one anyhow. It's a 1 CP treasure.

Battle of Milan sees 5 casualties on each side, forcing HRE to pull back to Trent.

Sending file in a sec, Viking still up to spend his 2 CP from the fleet event, then Max's turn.

I spent it on piracy in guinea coast

[Solmyr]

Oh right, up to you then whether to return Frobisher. Max is up.

[Viking]

return

[Solmyr]

Max?

[sbr]

I know it's not my turn yet, but hust as a heads up I am out of town until Wednesday evening, so I won't be able to make my turn until then; no matter when Max does his.

[Maximus]

I'm out camping this week, so internet access is sporadic.

However I did my ineffectual flailing. sbr is up

[sbr]

I could actually take my turn if someone could remind me of the state of the board and then do my file for me.

I am going to play The Lost Colony as a Mandatory Event.  IIRC the English and the Prtotesants have viable colonies as targets?

I will then use the 2 CP to pirate the Spanish in the sea zone I am in, the Ionian I believe.  I should have 5 corsairs and my P1 leader there.  Do the Spanish get any defensive dice?

[Solmyr]

There's only the English colony in Jamestown.

I get one defensive die for Knights of St John.

[sbr]

Viking can roll for his colony.

2 piracy hits.  Card and vp please.

If someone could do the file for me it would be greatly appreciated.

[Solmyr]

Yep, Ottomans are winning this one.

Spain: Play Card as Event

#91: 2 / Cipher Key
Choose one of these two options: (a) Take your Cipher Key marker and move it onto the "Informants Spying on You" box on another player's Power Card, or (b) remove all enemy cipher key markers from your own power card. While your Cipher Key is on another power, you gain the +1 Cryptography bonus against that power. This effect is not cumulative with the Cryptography science bonus.

[FAQ: It is legal to move your Cipher Key marker off one power's Power Card and directly onto a different power.]

Message from Spain:
Cipher Key on England.

Extending with 1 CP treasure for naval move: 2 galleys to Tyrrhenian Sea, Don John and 2 galleys to Barbary Coast.

Viking is up. Remember to move Frobisher to turn track (you might want to release ownership of the captain counters anyway) and treasure to your hand.

[Solmyr]

Tamas is up now.
