Treasure fleet appears in the Spanish Main and is unmolested.  Spain passes.  File sent; Sol up.

You realize those are lost if not played before the end of the turn?

I'm pretty confident the turn won't end with 5 cards in the HRE hand.

France: Play Card as Operations
#52: 2 / Foxe's Book of Martyrs
Switch 2 spaces in England from Catholic religious influence to Protestant. Then take 5 Protestant Conversion attempts that can affect spaces in France, Netherlands and/or Scotland.

Message from France:
Build galley in Marseilles. File later.

I will be passing at least until it is possible the turn will end, or until the Prots do something like convert something that might be a rebellion target.

Okay, question.

1 - I fucked up check for Papacy as France should have been in mix. I would have, had I included France did what I did for Venice and include in impulse order. So question, should we consider that roll okay or do we want me to re-roll?

2 - What happens with Venice as there is a tie?

1. I would say roll another die for france

2. I believe ties are broken by the order the flags of the powers appear on that column on the board.

This. 

QuoteIn the case of a tie, the winner is the power listed highest in the list of Activate powers at the bottom of the Diplomatic Influence Table.

Okay that's what I thought on point 2 - I think I just glossed over Activate bit though and was like how do I take into account deactivate powers. :)

On rolling French roll again - then there wouldn't really be a point, correct? I had +4 to my roll of 6 so that's going to be anything from France.  I guess only real case if if we think all 3 countries should have a re-roll in which case it is again a jump ball.

I don't think there's a case for a complete reroll. Those rolls were assigned before they were seen. That's really all that matters.

I'll be passing the rest of the turn.
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.

The rolls are fine, by the way.  HRE activates both Venice and the pope.

Okay, I'll put together file now and include Berk's galley.

When it gets to me again, I'll put my control markers across Venice. :blush:
