I'd worry about the french being two (nearly) undefended keys away from winning

I think the Protestants have that well in hand.  Not that you're wrong, mind you.  Berkut is very good at playing the "Whoever I'm at war with is winning" card.
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.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to be down a net 1 key after this turn in light of Scotland and other items.

Sol, why did you do a 7-CP rebellion in La Rochelle instead of a 4/3 split?  You get a bonus die against all home spaces, so you'd have 5 dice against La Rochelle (and only need 1 hit) and get Amsterdam for free.

Not nearly as good as you are at playing the "Hey, everyone else do what I want while I win the game. Again." card.

Ottomans have two natural enemies. You talked one of them into abandoning his defenses and giving you a ship, and the other you've got the rest of the board doing their best to keep from even slowing you down.

 :lol:  Yes, that's me.  I've somehow managed to convince the entire board that Spain is the real threat while I sail off to victory.  I am so Machiavellian it hurts.

Regulars are regulars are regulars.  Walloons are just Walloon regulars.

Sol, why did you do a 7-CP rebellion in La Rochelle instead of a 4/3 split?  You get a bonus die against all home spaces, so you'd have 5 dice against La Rochelle (and only need 1 hit) and get Amsterdam for free.

I didn't know about the bonus, or I would have split it. Up to Berkut though if he lets me have Amsterdam and 2 other spaces now.

I'd say you'd have to re-roll la rochelle if you wanted to change that..

Can do that, if people agree to let me redo the rebellion play.

:yes:  As long as you re-roll La Rochelle, I have no problem with it.

Regardless, Ottoman play :

QuoteOttoman: Play Card as Event
#63: 3 / Nostradamus' Prophecies
Powers other than France: Draw 2 cards from deck. Then discard any 1 card in your hand (does not need to be one just drawn).

France: Draw 3 cards from deck. Then discard any 2 cards in your hand (these cards do not need to be from among those just drawn).

Message from Ottoman:
Event.

Drawing two, discarding one.  Off to Spain to do my bidding.
