Game 8

Just sent my email turn in. Getting all excited now

Game II is getting very interesting as well.

So say why! I'm curious what other games are doing, but if you don't tell us, there's no way for us to know...

There looks to be quite a war developing between the big powers of Europe. Someone could blink, but I don't intend to!

who v who?

G3 has a conflict in the offering, namely Spain and Portugal v the Calipahte, lets see who blinks first

Britain and Prussia (with the Dutch) are lining up against France. Could be very interesting.

Just to clarify....

Game 8 - treat the first turn as a normal turn except you can't create army or fleet formations or patrols.

You can do normal things during the turn (except you can't form armies or patrols), but take into account depending on how much work we get in certain things might get delayed since priority is being given to the deployment of forces and appointment of ministers. That said, trade investments and building academies is permitted, as is writing letters or sending in an article for the newspaper.

Oops! Then i must send my turn over again later this evening.

Same here.

Sorry folks. I thought Richard's email to me was clear. Guess not!

can I take credit for this update from Richard ?

Don't know. Maybe he looked at all our turns and thought, "what the heck?!" and came looking for an explanation!

or maybe he thought OMG we have a right war like and eager bunch of ppl wanting it all done on turn 1!!!!!

My plans to conquer the Grand Duchy of Fenwick are thwarted!

I am going to stsrengthen my trade//financial/diplomatic connections this year, so I'll be prepared for what's coming! Being the King of England and the Stadtholder of the United Provincs is new to me..........I may have to appoint a Regent to run England! At least I know I'll be able to get a carronade mission from Scotland!!

Speaking of England, does anybody know if the Jacobite position is actually in play? No point forming an opinion otherwise

Deacon,

I haven't decided yet! I'm still sorting out all of ny diplomatic mail! Everyone wants to my good friend at this point, and, so far, everyone is very friendly to me! Of course, I haven't heard from Spain yet, I imagine they've troubles enow! Any trouble that we receive, will be from unstable Spain, whether it's intentional or no! I personslly hope & pray that we have at least one year of Peace first!!!

So you're saying England gets to control the Jacobites too? I thought they were a different player position who tries to take England from whoever started with it.

Sort of a very high brow pirate

Avast Matey! That throne be mine!

Hello Moshe. Sorry could not get in touch last month.Alot on. Will put it right next month. Spain is not unstable, it is very stable, intact and will stay that way.I would regard England and the Dutch as friends of Spain.As for the jacobites, there are a large force in France.So France could whip up a force and cause problems, if they wished.

I thought James Francis edwardstuart was in France at the start and was supported by the French Crown. Thus would he not be a French pawn rather than an English one?

At least on this thread:

The Jacobites in exile are listed as a separate player position from England, which is why I asked the question originally.

I think there is always a Jacobite position avaliable at the start of a game. But they tend to stay dead. Players are not interested in the position. It is too small, and what is the chances of taking on the games big powers and winning? I have never seen it done.
