Languishing some more.

[sbr]

Pirated the French in Adriatic and scored one hit.

I am playing my HC for 5 CP English Catholic rebellion. Spain gets 5+2 (informant)+1 (cipher key)+1 (Jesuit)+3 (Mary alive)+4 (Spanish regulars in England)=16 attack dice, vs 5 English defense dice. Viking to decide if he plays defensive Walsingham in response.

Doomed english defense rolls (hits on 5 and 6)

2 hits, Spain has 1 net hit. Reveal English hand to Spain.

[Viking]

Playing the revealed card to end the english turn. I'm surprised the game isn't over yet.

England: Play Card as Event
#83: 2 / Dutch Revolt [MANDATORY]
Count the number of spaces under Spanish political control (and not in Unrest) in the Netherlands. Award Dutch Revolt VP as follows based on that count. 0 spaces: 3 VP to the Protestant, 1-7 spaces: 2 VP to Protestant, 1 VP to England; 8-11 spaces: 1 VP to Protestant, Spain and England; 12-19 spaces: 2 VP to Spain; 20-21 spaces: 3 VP to Spain. Card remains in deck each turn.

Message from England:
1/2 remove unrest in london
2/2 assault York

12 spaces under spanish control, so 2 VP to spain.


The assault is 4 dice vs 3 dice attacking york. Solmyr can play defensive cards and roll.

[Viking]

Note, I did warn max I had dutch revolt, blame him for keeping spain at 12 areas.


Edit: by the way, my hand this turn

1 cp fireships
2 cp papal bull
2 cp dutch revolt

brilliant hand if you ask me. If I had to contruct an english hand more useful for spain I think only replacing fireships with enterprise of england would have made my hand worse.

[Viking]

BTW, GG everybody.. in principle I'm up for another one.. but, I'll only do that if somebody can link me to an AAR where england wins....

[Solmyr]

Spain extends its impulse play with a treasure to draw a card, then resolves the York assault.

Message from Spain:
Assault on York, 4 English vs 3 Spanish dice.

English Protestants and Catholics exchange some ineffectual fire at York with no casualties on either side. Catholic Yorkists hold out while the Dutch submit to the inevitable.

File sent. Tamas is next, after he decides whether to give the Ottomans a VP or a card.

Wasn't there an earlier Languish game where Ulmont (IIRC) won as England?

yeah, I sort of used my entire hand this turn to set this assault up...

I was very close (at 25 VP).  Habbaku claims he had the means to tie my VP and win on the tie-breaker, but the game never ended (garbon just stopped playing).

[Solmyr]

Btw Viking, will you execute Mary of Scots? The rebellion results allows you to do that for -1 VP.
