Hallo zusammen,
 
the Sejm has passed an ambitious naval armaments bill. The Polish Vasas may
perhaps want to enforce their Scandinavian birthright. The English, Swedes and
Turks however appear quite uninterested in expanding (or, in the case of Sweden,
reestablishing) their navies.
 

Given Harvey's upcoming medical procedure and
Aidan's leisurely foray into Russia, we're now looking at a May 12 Spring
1658 deadline, it being subject to me having heard from these to players prior
to that date.
 
Happy Labour Day!
 
Charles
