Sorry everyone, been in a funk the last couple of days.
Don John and his men return to Milan, as does the Taranto Corps.
Venetian Fleet winters at Corfu.
No other moves.
Another unfulfilled colony expedition returns home.
4 Regulars to Calais (closer fortified space that is not the capital) and everybody else to Paris!
PS: there’s an HRE regular in Milan, somebody check what’s up with that!
@Tom_Mc, do you want to take one regular, two mercenaries, or four mercenaries to trade for your reinforcements this turn?
Once again dragging the feet here. Really sorry about that. I’ll take the 4 mercs for negotiation.
Give me map projection.
Thanks guys. Super busy this week, but will have implemented files up sometime over the weekend. We are waiting for @Juan_Raigada to get back anyway, so hopefully I won’t slow us down too much.
I am back!
@Panzeh, I forgot that you have Observatory (+2 to science rolls), so you actually get to pick 2VPs or 1VP and a bonus. I’m going to give you 1VP and a bonus now, and we can change it if you want the 2VPs.
