One query on the plague in Perugia. Is the Papal army already gone or do they have this turn to move out?

Unlike famine, plague is resolved immediately. The army is gone.

Not to harp on this, but I think Mcwar needs to commit to being an active player or not. He never answered a pm several weeks ago... diplomatic snub,? or like he has told others he doesn’t have time”.

No offense to Mcwar, but someone has already inquired about an open slot...

Since we have a replacement waiting in the the wings, I sent Mcwar a PM asking his intentions.

Can we settle this today because tomorrow is the last day for negotiations.... otherwise I can't fill the owner of Genoa with vast, convincing quantities of anti Milano propaganda, not to mention tales of their atrocious bloodlust against peaceful Imperial subjects!

TheGrumpyDoge is taking over Genoa. I had to wait for his reply to my PM offer as he is on the other side of the world from me. Josh is going to read the rules and will start making diplomatic contact. I'll extend the order submission deadline to the end of Saturday (+2 days), and process the orders on Sunday. Feel free to send replacement orders if an active Genoa changes your plans.

I've updated the Summer 1499 Record sheet (page 5) with the new contact information.

There is one battle in Ancona. The Papal Fleet 1 and the Turk Army 1 both advance into Ancona. Die roll to see who arrives first (1-3 Turks): 4 = Papacy

The Papacy sets up the Pike & Shot Campaigns battle, as an Open Battle. The game results are due 26 Feb 2018 (15 days)

Here is a sneak peek at the Fall 1499 start map. A lot of territory has changed hands. It still has to be updated with the Battle of Ancona results.

Players may “borrow” ducats from the Money Lenders and add them to their Treasury. The total number of ducats borrowed by any one player

may never exceed 25 ducats at one time (not counting interest). Borrowed ducats may be for a period of one or two years. For instance, a one-
year loan taken out in Summer 1501 would have to be repaid with interest in Summer 1502. One-year loans are at 20% interest on the amount

borrowed, and two-year loans are at 50% interest (all fractions are rounded up). Full amounts, including all interest, must be repaid even if the
repayment is made early. If not paid at this time, the major power unable to meet its debts will immediately suffer the same effects as if the player
was assassinated. After this, the debt doesn’t have to be repaid, but the major power may never again borrow ducats from the Money Lenders.
Assassination (AKA Bankrupt) Effect:
all the victim’s military units are paralyzed for that one turn. All orders are automatically changed to Hold orders,
although they may still be Supported by other players. They may not be used to put down rebellions, and the effects of siege are ignored on
fortified cities that these units may be besieging. Any of the victim’s Garrison units that are being besieged will immediately be removed from the
map. Some of the victim’s provinces may take advantage of the situation to rebel. Consult the Rebellion Table and roll a die for each controlled
province.

I have set it up. Password - kiwi.

terrain choice is 'pot luck'.

Let me know if you have any problems with the set-up and I can adjust.

The Battle of Ancona 1499

If the fleet loses then it retreats where it came from: Upper Adriatic.

If the army loses then it cannot retreat to were it came from because it involved sea transport. Romagna, Urbino, and Aquillia are all empty and valid retreat provinces, so I will randomly choose one if necessary.

Sadly, the Papal army were washed away by the Turkish tide, 52-0.

The Pope is considering a new life in Caledonia as his armies are lost to plague, invasion and battle :)

it was a pleasant game nonetheless and very instructive.
