Spain tries to get the Netherlands back under control and commissions a galley in Messina.  File sent; off to Sol.

Just to confirm, we're at Sol now right? ACTS still has as the last message that Max needed to play but I believe he went and you've gone per what I'm quoting.
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."
I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

No, we're at Max again.  Sol already played after that message, Garbon

Quote#66: 5 / Sea Beggars
Dutch gain political control of any unoccupied port space in the Netherlands. Switch religious influence to Protestant if not already. Add one Dutch galleon and one Dutch regular to the space. If the space chosen is Brielle or Flushing, add a second Dutch galleon. If Spain controls a port connected to the North Sea, the Protestant receives a free Piracy roll. Place a Piracy marker in the North Sea, skip to Step 5 of the Piracy procedure and have Protestant roll 3 piracy dice against Spanish North Sea ports.

Message from England:
1-2/5: Build galleon in Dover.
3/5: Move Hawkins fleet to Bay of Biscay
4-5/5: Pirate France
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.

Oh gotcha. I've been up too long and totally misread that whole sequence including the fact that I'd played in it. :D

Aye.

And, because it never hurts to prod Max multiple times (that seems to get him to play faster)...Max is up.

Am I really doing so well that neither England nor the HRE even want to try to make a deal over those cards they just threw in the gutter?

TBH, I just assumed you had a secret master plan. :blush:

Who is up?

Max?

I think he should probably go now.

I think I'm doing OK, but having my home card fizzle like that is going to put a damper on any early-game victory I might have had planned.

I drew Sea Beggars with the jilt, so I didn't have it at the start. :P

Yeah, and mid-turn diplomacy is for the birds, right?

Max is up.

Also, as I mentioned it elsewhere, I'm going to the beach from tomorrow through next Tuesday. Bringing my laptop though so I'll still be able to put together files for my turns. :)

Gave a vp. Also, now that Selim is in play, we should put that Cyprus VP marker on Cyprus.
