Languishing Eternally (VQ Game)

[Berkut]

Scottish Lords go all rebellious. France and the Prots tie on the roll, and France wins ties.

Unless there is some other modifier I am not aware of? I am thinking Prots were at +2, +1 for base influence, +1 for controlling Edinburgh

#30: 3 / Ruler Falls Ill
Play against any other major power. Choose to have that power either: -- discard one card (chosen at random), or -- skip his next impulse and allow you to return one of his army leaders to his capital (or another home fortified space he chooses if the capital is under siege or controlled by another power).

Message from Holy Roman Empire:
Ottoman army drinks some brackish water while encamped on the Lido. Sokollu returns back to Istanbul to seek treatment.

Message from Protestants:
For CP :

1/1 - Control Namur.

Back to Max.

[Solmyr]

Max has to skip this impulse, no?

[Solmyr]

Also, can you control Namur with Spanish troops next to it?

[garbon]

Yep Max is skipped.

Also, can you control Namur with Spanish troops next to it?

Brussels and Namur are not actually adjacent, which is weird but something I noticed earlier (I would have planned things differently if they were).

[ulmont]

Brussels falls to assault, the Spanish march on Antwerp, and finally Amsterdam is converted.

[Solmyr]

English agents infiltrate Paris and Madrid. Berkut up.

Played Grand Tour to patronize some crappy artist.

#24: 5 / Holy League
Playable by any power eligible to have diplomatic influence with the Papacy, Venice or Holy Roman Empire (if not a player power). Not playable if Ottoman VP are below 13. Gain 4 influence dividing it as desired between these powers and then resolve the diplomatic status of any two of these powers.

Message from Holy Roman Empire:
1/5 - Schwendi, Zrinyi + 8rm3 to Trieste

Pausing unless Max wants to intercept or play any response.

[Maximus]

Go for it

[garbon]

Holy Roman Empire: Message
2/5 - Take control of Trieste
3/5 - Stack moves on Venice and 2 Venetians join with relief force

Any CC? Else I can roll in a bit or you can resolve.

[Maximus]

Ottoman forces take out nearly 2/3 of the HRE force, but lose even more and are surrounded and destroyed.

Holy Roman Empire: Message
Ugh!

4-5/5 2 Mercs raised in Graz

Looks like Turks and HRE don't have slap fights like the Spanish/Protties.
