Languishing Yet Again (VQ game)

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

When displacement occurs, any land units and army leaders occupying these spaces are placed in the nearest fortified space controlled by their power or in their capital (if under friendly control).

Capital, I say.

Sol's up to make a mess of France and the Netherlands.

Spain: Play Card as Operations
#65: 2 / Puritans
The English player must choose to allow you to either (1) draw a random card from his hand or (2) add unrest to 3 unoccupied spaces in England. If the card draw is selected, draw the card and reveal it to all players. Then choose to either discard the drawn card or give it to the Protestant player (you may not keep it yourself unless you are Protestant).

Message from Spain:
Build galley in Palma

Used taxis to give a card to the Protestants.

Ulmont is up

[Habbaku]

Ulmont, you have to leave at least 1 Protestant space in a zone.

edit; nvm

Converted most of the rest of France.  Damned shame the rolls came in that order, since the single conversion roll wasn't useful in retrospect.

Viking up.

This dice rolling thing is getting confusing...

testing a theory... I'll be reversing the labels every time I roll.. so, e.g. resolving the the polish war, I'll declare the poles are attacking and give them the number of dice the hre get when attacking and I'll declare the hre are defending and give them as many dice as the poles get defending... I'll also reverse the order.. so just swap poles for HRE and we'll see what happens..

my advice to solmyr.. do the same thing since virtually every single catholic roll has hit so far

edit: that is actually pretty confusing. I'll make the declarations as normal, but the dice rolled under the HRE banner will be the polish dice and the dice rolled under the polish banner will be the hre dice.

I had a pretty ineffective suppression attempt last impulse, followed by an effective one.

[Habbaku]

I think Viking is starting to crack up.

[Solmyr]

Maybe ACTS just hates Protestants.
