Played Tridentine Catechism to patronize an artist.

Traveling to Montreal over the weekend and today so won't be able to do files and will be delayed at points.
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: Play Card as Event
#82: 2 / Death of King Sebastian [MANDATORY]
Portugal enters the game as a Minor Power that is a target for DOW and diplomatic influence. Add markers to the Portuguese track to reflect the status of Spain, France and England (giving England their default 1 influence). Any power controlling Lisbon during the Winter Phase gains 1 treasure (if any remain) as income from Portuguese World Map possessions. Remove from deck after play.

Message from Spain:
2/2: Innsbruck stack to Trent

Extend to use "Draw Card" Treasure.

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'll be leaving to London on Monday. Not sure how regular my net access will be, and regardless I won't have CB there. So I will be slow for the following week.

#29: 2 / Muscovy Company
Place a "+1 Card" marker on your power card. You draw 1 extra card next turn (representing new revenues from trade with Muscovy). If played by England, place an additional +1 Card marker on the Turn Track on the turn two turns from the current one. England receives an extra card two turns in a row.

I believe Frobischer completes his circumnavigation damaged. I have access to neither CB nor the rules at the moment. Will complete my turn in a few hours if no one does it before then.

Looks right to me.

Quote from: ACTS#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.

I count 12* spaces under Spanish political control, for 2 Spanish VP.
