El Reporto De Joohoo
Venice dowed, they had about 450 combat ships, mostly galleys and we had 250 galleys with a naval CRT down. They had about 150K troops in Italy attacking and we had 50K in Iberia.
Adopted a policy of trying to stalemate them, which worked, around 300,000 venetians were killed trying to invade Spain, including a leader they had. Then we got Blas De Lezo and I 0wned the Venetians as I then had a galley fleet of about 500. Started to besiege Venice and take back Italy when offered a WP which I took as the inca's were getting uppity.
Funded Austria some, which meant they nicely gave us Siena after beating up France.
Teched land for the rest of the session, getting to LT 41 right at the end

, income up to 410ish and army and navy at the support limit although your naval tech is crap.
Got a deflation event and deflating some elsewhere, +2 DPs to Inno and +1 to serfdom for better tech costs and cheaper infantry.
Colonised a lot of Argentina and Peru area and you have lots of cities there now.
So it is somewhat better than it was
