HRE gets famous victory with 5 hits vs Spanish 1 hit.

My casualty is my one merc.

Karma FTW!

The maxim that good dice trumps bad strategy continues to prove itself, as the HRE gets 5/8 hits to the Spanish 1/10 hits in the ensuing battle.

Spanish forces fall back to Innsbruck.

OK, so apparently I never could have controlled Innsbruck, since I had no LOC to there as it was played.

So to resolve this (since I am guessing Viking won't be keen on just undoing the entire play), I could just place a control marker in Trent with my first CP from my treasure, and forgo placing the control marker in Zurich with my last CP.

Or we could just start all over. :)

Quote12.1 Line of Communication
A power has an LOC to a space if it can trace a path of spaces and
sea zones to that space from a friendly-controlled, fortified space
that is a home space for that power or one of its allies (this even
includes home spaces of minor powers allied to your major power
allies). All spaces on the path (except the space where the path
ends) must be:
• friendly-controlled,
• free of enemy units (including naval units and leaders), and
• free of unrest.
One or more adjacent sea zones may be part of the LOC if they each
contain a friendly naval unit. The path must connect to these sea
zones through a friendly-controlled port (except the space where the
path ends, which can be a non-friendly port). An LOC is required
for the Assault and Control Unfortified Space actions.

Venentian units don't stop you controlling the area.

So, control trent instead.

If you want me to start all over, I will pick up my HC and just do something else entirely. An invasion of Germany apparently needs a but more prep time.

OK, whoever does the next file move the control marker from Zurich to Trent, and flip it to the Catholic side.

Ineffectual spies again. No file.

Papacy is resolved and stays with Spain; France builds a boat on the Med.

Spain up to pick one of the following:

Power now controlling Papacy may either: (1) Excommunicate Elizabeth, adding the "Elizabeth Excommunicated" marker to the Diplomatic Status Display OR (2) Take 7 Catholic Conversion attempts affecting spaces in France or the Netherlands OR (3) Patronize an artist or scientist of your choice from Italy as if 3 CP were spent OR (4) Retrieve Holy League from the discard pile and play it immediately as an event. Card remains in deck each turn. [FAQ: Elizabeth may only be excommunicated once per game.]

File sent, Viking to play.

We wil patronize that Greco guy.

QuoteHoly Roman Empire: Play Card as Event
#100: 2 / Enterprise of England [MANDATORY]
Add up a total count of: the number of Jesuits in England, the number of Catholic spaces in England, the number of spaces in England under Spanish control, and the number of Spanish regulars in England. Award Enterprise of England VP as follows based on that count. 1-2: 1 VP to England, -1 VP to Spain; 3-4: 1 VP to England; 5-6: no VP awarded; 7-10 1 VP to Spain; 11-15: 2 VP to Spain, -1 VP to England; 16+: 3 VP to Spain, -2 VP to England. Card remains in deck each turn.

[FAQ: Count spaces under Spanish control even if they are Catholic (i.e., some spaces may count for more than one of these items). Ignore Unrest entirely when making these counts.]

Message from Holy Roman Empire:
It seems that Spain's failure to re-catholicize the Angles and Spain's failure to stand and fight in a battle she loses prestige and england gains prestige.

Enterprise Score:2
England +1 VP
Spain -1 VP

#48: 3 / Commissioned from Italy
Patronize a specific artist or scientist of your choice from Italy (instead of drawing one from your own pool) as if you spent 3 CP on the Patronize action. Place a control marker of your power underneath the artist or scientist so it is clear which power has commissioned him.

Message from Protestants:
Patronize Palladio.

Habs up.
