Spain conquers the Philippines, builds a patrol in the Spanish Main, and commissions a fortress in Cuba.

English ships move out. French galleon may intercept in either location, will continue my impulse once Berkut decides.

We won't intercept.

How did 2 regulars of mine end up in Marseilles? And a galley in Brest?

The regulars are my fault. Those were supposed to be in La Rochelle but looks like I fucked up when I did everyone's SD's.

Galley in Brest starts there in the scenario. Beats me why.

Quote4/5: Fleet North Sea to English Channel (no intercept possible)
5/5: Entire fleet attacks Calais

Hawkins and 4 galleons (9 dice) vs French galleon in Calais (3 dice). No file, Berkut can resolve and make his play after.

Ed actually explained this at some point.  The galley in Brest is supposed to be the old French navy that has seen better days.  The more modern ships were in Calais at the time.
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.

England spends a very large number of CPs to sink a galleon.

France: Play Card as Operations
#50: 4 / Council of Troubles
Playable if 5 land units controlled by Spain (other than Walloons) are in the Netherlands. Remove William of Orange from the map for the rest of the turn. Spain takes 8 Catholic Conversion attempts that affect spaces in the Netherlands. The first die is automatically a "6"; the rest are rolled randomly. Afterwards, Spain may regain political control of up to 3 unoccupied, non-key spaces currently under Protestant political control in the Netherlands. Give a +1 Card marker to the Protestant. Remove from deck if played as event.

Message from France:
3/4: 3 mercs in Calais
4/4: Merc in Rouen

Tried to convert, but it didn't really stick.  Calais and Antwerp go into unrest, at least.

Patronage is random, Max.  You don't get to choose which scientist/artist you want.

We went over this last turn, Ulmont.  You cannot build Walloons in Antwerp.
