Languishing Yet Again (VQ game)

[Berkut]

He gave up 2 CPs in order to make sure I did not spend 4 CPs fighting the Ottomans.

That is not what he did at all and for you to keep insinuating that is pretty blatantly absurd.  Max has already stated his reasons for doing what he did and it certainly wasn't to help me.  Asserting that it was is simply ignoring his statements.  Do you have a reason to doubt what he's said?

That is exactly what he did - that may not have been what he intended to do, but that is what he did do.

I understand perfectly well what his reasons were, and understand perfectly well that they were not to help you - I certainly never claimed otherwise. I have not ignored his statements of course, just pointed out that they don't apply to the current situation, since there was no way I was going to be playing that card as the event. That would be a terrible play on my part, even if it was legal. Even worse than him playing Witchcraft on me, or viking playing Pay Ships. Well, maybe not quite that bad. But still a bad play, had I done it.

[Solmyr]

Ah, I forgot that Mary gets captured after Scottish Lords. Max's Spanish discard makes sense certainly.

[Berkut]

And now we see the truth in why Max chose to get rid of Rising in the North.

Yeah, because I was so going to play it as an event now.

Oh wait, nope. Still would be 2 galleys.

The revolt in Amsterdam is a 3cp revolt, so you conquer harlem as well plus you only get 1 regular, not 2 in amsterdam

Not according to Spain!

No, he doesn't get Haarlem.  He already got Amsterdam, Alkmaar and Utrecht.  Correct RE : the regulars, though.

Like I said, it is pretty clear why you are such a big fan of the play.

[Solmyr]

And yeah, total number of flipped spaces is equal to CP spent by my reading. Will fix the regulars in my move unless someone else does it first.

And it is pretty clear why you are not.  Glad we're agreed.

Indeed - it is for the exact same reasons in fact.

You like it because it helps you immensely while not helping anyone else much at all, I don't like it because it helps you immensely without helping anyone else at all.

File sent. Forgot to add the mary marker but I think otherwise it's right. Not clear on where the french regular from Edinburgh goes, I displaced it to Calais. Feel free to correct

edit: Ulmont did my move as well, his is probably more correct.

[ulmont]

Successfully assaulted Frankfurt and converted some spaces back in France.

File sent, which also includes Max's play.  Please ignore Max's file, as it didn't touch VP.

I did forget the Mary status change as well though.

[Solmyr]

I believe the French regular is displaced to Calais since it's closest to Edinburgh.

And Hawkins, I'll send a correction
