Ottomans patronize Seydi al Reis for 2 CPs.

Off to Spain.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Spain: Message
Play Spanish Road for the event.

Add 1r to Milan
Move Don John to Milan

Move Alva, Parma, 6r2m to Zurich

Extend impulse with 5 CP treasure
1/5: Move group to Innsbruck

Pause here to see if viking wants to play response cards or attempt an intercept.

You don't own Zurich. You can have neutral and un-activated HRE spaces as part of the path, but you can't spring deploy to neutral areas.


Quote from: Rules 10.66. Move Formation from Capital: All powers with a capital
(including activated major powers) may move a single formation
from one of their capitals to a friendly-controlled space.
This special move costs no CP.


Edit: Hmm, it seems I'm wrong about this

Viking can resolve, I have no combat cards to play.

QuoteHoly Roman Empire: Play Card as Event
#15: 2 / Storms [RESPONSE]
Play during another power's impulse just after they have announced they are spending CP to move, assault, initiate piracy, conduct a naval move, or start a naval transport. 1 CP is lost. For the rest of the impulse, no land unit of that power may move more than 1 space; assault, piracy, naval moves, and naval transport are prohibited OR Force any expedition to undergo a Navigation roll.

[FAQ: Effects only last for this one impulse; may not be used to stop Treachery! event.]

Message from Holy Roman Empire:
Storms in the alpine passes.

So I lose 1 CP, leaving me with 2. Which I then use to move back across the pass...?

Yeah, you need to play it before then, like when I move from Zurich to Innsbruck, which would leave me able to move to Innsbruck, but no further. Which is why I very specifically stopped at that point to allow you to stop me then if you wanted.

@ulmont

the intention was to stop the movement accross the pass into augsburg, which it apparently doesn't. Nothing has actually happened, so if berkut permits I'd like to take it back, if not, I just have to suffer for my own fuckups.

You can certainly take it back. I am not so keen on letting you back up and play it at the "right" moment though, since I specifically gave you the chance to play it then, before you knew if I was intending to attack Augsburg or head north.

I knew you were heading for augsburg, I thought I was being clever by forcing you to cancel a 2cp move. I just didn't read the card properly. I have no cards to play.

You have 10 dice, I have 8.

OK, we are generally pretty easy on this stuff.

You can take it back, or take it back and play it at the "right" time to stop an attack on Augsburg. Your choice.

I don't think playing it at the "right time" is fair since while I may have guessed but I did not know which way you were going, carry on.
