I thought it was, but then you people started making plays again.  I'll make a play soon--sorry for the delay.
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.

Ulmont was sending me death threats. :(
"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.

QuoteProtestants: Play Card as Event
#27: 2 / Knights of St. John
If Knights of St. John are on map, not under siege, and connected by 1 sea zone to an Ottoman-controlled port, and Ottoman is not an inactive major power, then either draw and keep 1 random card from Ottoman or drop their piracy VP by 1. OR If Knights of St. John are off map Spain adds Knights counter on its 2-unit side to a Spanish-controlled home port. If Malta is under Spanish control and not under siege, add them there. Otherwise add them to an empty, unfortified Spanish home port and add a fortress to the space.

Message from Protestants:
Event. Steal a card from the Ottomans.

To Max to fork over a card, then play.

Sokollu goes to lift the siege of Szigetvar. The dice are currently 12 vs 12. Garbon to respond and roll battle

Quote#40: 1 / Tilbury Speech [COMBAT]
Gain 2 extra dice in a field battle, naval combat or assault (but not piracy). If England, gain 4 extra dice. Must be declared before either side rolls.

Message from Holy Roman Empire:
Schwendi gives a rousing speech.

Turks score 2 hits but HRE scores 5. Max up to retreat his forces(/run inside?).

HRE loses 2 mercs.

Sokollu reinforces the fortress and the remainder retreat to Belgrade.

ulmont is up

Habbaku

You can only reinforce the fortress garrison if you get equal hits in the battle.  Sokollu and friends have to go back where they came from.

If people expect me to stop France all by myself, they're going to be disappointed.

I believe in hedging at all times.
