Virgin Queen Forum Game

Actually I uploaded a new logfile including the card use form my previous impulse so the game state is properly set. Be sure to work form this file @Tom_Mc

Sorry guys I’ll probably be a little spotty through the weekend here. I have uploaded the file. This got a little complicated here on this turn so please feel free to check the work. It was a big one. Mary captured and Scotland flips English, so we want to get this right.

  • Logging begun

<Tom (Holy Roman Empire)> - Ok I am going to see if I can get this right.

  • Holy Roman Empire plays Scottish Lords Rebel mandatory event. Conduct 2 CP of actions.

<Tom (Holy Roman Empire)> - Event always resolved first. In this case we evaulate Scottland

<Tom (Holy Roman Empire)> - +1 to France for controlling Edinburgh (per card) France does not get the Catholic bonus. Protestants will get a +2. I do not see any DRM for England

  • 2 HRE mercenaries eliminated in Pressburg.
  • Logfile written.

France gets another +2 due to Mary Queen of the Scott’s being married to a French noble.

It’s a tie between France and England, but I don’t know how that affects things.

Can you look at that @Tom_Mc

Edit: scratch that, Mary is computed on the diplo track. The turn is fine (I did want England to get this)

I think it’s @CF_Kane’s turn now?

(Who would have gotten Scotland had he been open to diplomacy. Food for thought)

So the +2 looks like it might have been added already. The initial state of the campaign game shows France at zero diplomatic influence. Is the two I added already from the marriage?

EDIT: I saw your edit there, nevermind.

I play Calvinist Zeal for lots of conversion attempts.

Just checking to see if @Tom_Mc missed the update

I did see the update. I’ve been away from home here since Thursday but will be returning this evening for a turn then or in the morning. Thank you very much for bearing with me here.

No worries! I took a few days when I was at Yosemite too. Just was checking in since hadn’t seen you in a few days is all.

Just FYI, I will be gone from Saturday the 7th to Sunday the 16th. If we get to the Diplomacy phase before that I can take a spnapshot of my hand and perhaps be able to play with that info.

Sorry for dragging this out. I’m back and getting caught up here. A lot of CP went to patronage.
