If you prick us, do we not bleed? if you tickle us, do we not laugh? if you poison us, do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?




Yes folks, the Trout is late with this one. I sincerely apologize. Especially so since I am now apparently talking about myself in the third person. =)


Sweden disbands in Hesse and Ingria, Meanwhile, Russia builds a fleet north and a fleet south, and the Habsburgs diversify their portfolio. Our travelling player is now returned, so I'd like to have a quick Spring deadline to see if we can resume pace with the game. Deadline for Spring 1604 orders will be set for Friday, June 20th (11:59 PM GMT) - however if anyone needs more time than that please just let me know.


Also, a Spanish/Habsburg/Russian three-way draw has been tabled for your consideration. Please have your yay or nay votes in to me with your Spring moves. Lack of a vote will count as a 'no'.


Cheers!

Press - Vienna to All:


"Today, December 13th 1603 we assembled Lords of the Habsburg Empire do gather here in Croatia to christen the first of the Habsburg 'Death Frigates'. We sincerely hope that their name be an ill omen for their enemies, not their crews - hey, we're new at this whole navy thing. A ship is not the sort of thing you do right the first time around..."
