Machiavelli : Europe Arising

Some day, I must hear exactly what it was the OE was doing in Northern Italy. I never noticed much in the way of troops. I think I saw 100K at one time, and that was about it - I certainly did not see Turkish hordes marching through my land.

I sent 100k infnatry towards Lombardia or something (OE asked from Ausria if a force can be sent towards the French border, and got on ok), and didn't give them orders after that. They were sent forwards just to show OE *can* if necessary send much more troops (I think Peter can verify there were/are something like 100k-200k standing on the Austrian border). I thought I'll withdraw the forces at some point, but when I took a look at them there was just 20k left (don't know if the died of combat or attrition) and they never got back to OE. It's interesting to hear they have killed 100k of Dutch troops, I myself wouldn't have guessed that but I must (?) believe it if that's what the Dutch records show.

Actually, it was about 92k Turks and half as many Austrians vs 85k Dutch. They got slaughtered in about 17 seconds, and then I pulled the last 15k out, who then got wiped out in Tyrol completely.

Ok, so it was the small Ottoman army of observers you were talking about, Damocles. For a moment, with your talks of Ottoman intervention in Northern Italy, I was fantasizing about huge Ottoman armies fighting France in Italy without my noticing

Depending on how cannons get counted that could very well be

SO much money! How can he afford!

How often will Poland loose Krakow and regain it from Austria?

On a side note whom shall I sub next session if I should?

As everyone knows, 10 game ducat is worth 1 silver ducats so in game that would be +300d to Prussia .

Nice try, but no. You get 30d, which is what you deserve.

...And of course, according to your calculations, you should be getting 3d, not 300d. You must have meant 10 game ducats is worth 1 silver ducat, but you misstated your case

I am curious: What are those 30d for?

Isn't it a rather inobscure biblical reference?

Also, I am collecting names for Mach 2 and it is looking nice but I still have 2 unfilled spots, namely the hugely popular Denmark and the Venice/Brandenburg combo. I also have 2 people who signed up and don't have a nation yet in Aldo and jarkko. So, do those sound ok to u? If so, we have a full line-up.

I feel honoured, I really do For wasn't Denmark and/or Brandenburg be supposedly by the most experienced players? Har, har....

Seriously though, I just came back from work. Today was, just like yesterday, supposed to be my day-off. One of my collegues has fallen ill. It looks like its not something easy As she was one of three leading pharmacists in our pharmacy, and the second one is on "education-vacation" (sorry, don't know the proper Englsih word for that) until the end of the year (started this week, ie 3 months) it means my schedules are basically totally screwed. First thing tomorrow for me is to cancel my reservist-training, which really, really sucks (as I like the project I am doing for the Finnish military pharmacy).

To draw the bottom-line, I don't know if I can arrange all Tuesday-nights free (like I have done during my time in Machiavelli) after the next two Tuesdays. It has also screwed totally my participiation in the ongoing Finn-EU which really bugs me
