SBR, why not do the split-Rebellion option and take Rouen while you're at it?  You'd get practically the same results in the Netherlands.

Guess no answer is forthcoming...
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.

Btw, that Ottoman fleet should only have 2 corsairs left.

Why is that?  You only hit two in the battle.

There were 4 to start with. Actually should be one less galley in the Spanish fleet too. Tamas moved it but didn't do the casualties.

I knew that was an option, but even though it may have been dumb I decided not to do that.  Thanks for the heads up though. :)

No, there were 5 to start with.  3 start in Algiers naturally and I built 2 up on my first play.  None of them have been sunk by anything but hostile action from the Spanish fleet.

Ottomans make an attempt at digging the Suez Canal, then use their treasure gains to build more ships in Coron.

Over to Sol.

Spanish fleet again attempts to destroy the corsairs, who fail to evade. Uploaded file. Habs to resolve the battle (10 Spanish vs 3 Ottoman, hopefully with more balanced rolling this time), Berkut can put the results in his file.

3 corsairs and 1 galley sunk.

How many CPs have you spent hunting down pirates that will only return next turn?   :hmm:

2 to move the fleet?

Of course, if you stopped haxxing the rolls... :P

3 to move the fleet thus far, 4 points of losses, plus whatever you paid Max to give my captain a holiday.

Perhaps, but then again I wanted to move the fleet there anyway.

Well, seeing as this game isn't starting too well for me, I expect I'll just bother people a bit until someone else wins. :P

You really need to be careful about adhering to the Berkut-Eeyore School of Saying You're Not Winning.

Pfft, nothing at all wrong with making the Ottomans work to pirate. You have CPs to spend, and spending them to clear the Rats out is hardly the worst choice.

England: Play Card as Operations
#57: 4 / Irish Rebellion
Playable by Spain, France or the Holy Roman if Ireland's diplomatic status has not been resolved this turn. Gain 2 diplomatic influence with Ireland and then resolve its diplomatic status. If Ireland activates, apply these effects: (1) England loses half of their regulars and half of their mercenaries from the Dublin and Kinsale spaces. (2) Remove units from Ulster, add Irish rebels there, and optionally move those rebels -- all as per Step 6 of the Activation Procedure.

[FAQ: Count the total number of regulars in Dublin plus Kinsale and then halve that number (rounding down). The English removes this number of regulars from these two spaces in any combination they desire. Then repeat for mercenaries.]

Message from England:
Galleon in Plymouth and Dover

Barring France or someone screwing with me, I will pass out the turn.
