English winter: 2 regulars from Dublin to London

If you have some kind of plan, then great, but Dublin is pretty...unsafe for England to leave with only 1 regular.  It's a ripe target for City State Rebels and Ireland Revolts can easily take it if it only has 1 regular.
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.

Ottoman cards for this turn.  I played Nostradamus and drew both Foreign Volunteers and 1 other card which is still in my hand.  I ditched Desperate Assault to Nostradamus.

Quote2 / Selim II
3 / Nostradamus' Prophecies
1 / Desperate Assault
2 / Philosopher's Stone
2 / Catherine's Flying Squadron
2 / The Lost Colony
5 / Foreign Volunteers

Spanish cards for this turn (not counting their, what, 11 CPs worth of treasures?) :

Quote2 / Muscovy Company
3 / Tenth Penny
4 / Rising of the North
3 / Border Reivers
5 / The Sultan's Harem
2 / Menendez de Aviles
2 / Puritans
4 / Grand Tour
3 / Genoese Bankers
4 / Army Mutiny (used to purchase Treachery from France, so effectively a trade of a card to prevent my second HC being played)
2 / Storms

While this does, of course, put the lie to Berkut's claim that I  "had a great hand for stomping Spaniards," I will agree that there is rather little he could have done in addition to stop my actions this turn.  The Spanish cannot spend every CP they have stopping the Ottomans and expect to win.  At best, they will prevent both the Ottomans and themselves from winning by doing so--which is why I offered my deal to Berkut.

Going to sleep, so next action tomorrow. I will pass though, unless Berkut starts converting Amsterdam and environs.

solmyr has passed...

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.

Protestants stay in their respective capitals for winter. Don't add a regular to Amsterdam though, I forgot to remove the extra one during the turn.

I think France's hand is only 5 - 4 keys / 1 bonus - unless you saw something I didn't?
