Here Languish Stands Again

England: Message

DOW Habsburgs.

1-4/5: 4 mercs to Calais.
5/5: Henry & all to Antwerp.

Well, the Copernicus play made it slightly easier to decide which way to play the HC.

Message from France:
Francis +7r +1m to Metz

to Tamas to play cards

[Viking]

See what you did there tamas?

rather than playing copernicus you should have listened to me

BTW, now that England is at peace, now is the time to take antwerp.

[Tamas]

Yeah clearly that was an improvised English move completely triggered by Copernicus :p

[Tamas]

I won't have cb acces for a few more hours

[Habbaku]

or you keep it in hand to play as an event to prevent somebody else from winning the game.

Yeah, that card doesn't work how you think it does.  Copernicus doesn't stop someone from winning unless it's preventing a domination victory.  They still win if they're at 25+ VPs.

I am playing Landschknets for the battle. Max didn't say he would play anything so I'll resolve the battle

[Tamas]

French victory, 4 to 2. 4 Habsburg mercs are eliminated, rest of the lot retreats to the Metz fort.


ENGLAND! Let's be reasonable and do not destroy your chances at victory by hurting me too much. You should just flag Amsterdam and leave Antwerp to me. In exchange I will sue for peace next turn, buying Amsterdam back from you for an extra VP. Which in effect is just as good for you as Antwerp, except you don't decrease the hand size which keeps the others at bay.

[Solmyr]

I have chances at victory?

[Viking]

Hey! Thats the deal I offered you Tamas!

[Solmyr]

Also, your hand size would be decreased next turn, while you should be keeping people at bay this turn.

You don't gain a goddamn thing if you go for Antwerp instead of just flagging Amsterdam, but you lose a lot. Your only chance if the game goes on and we leaders keep attriting each other. Reducing my hand size for the next turn works much more against that, than capturing Antwerp would work for it.

Pole badly loses a debate to Cop.  SBR up to convert 3 spaces and play.

Sorry Viking I just used up all the 6's on the dice.

Converted Lyon, Bescanon, Metz from the debate.

Finished French NT translation and Liege, Grenoble, Dijon, Orleans and Paris all converted.
