Hi guys,
I'm afraid I'm facing something of a plumbing disaster (not my idea of an Easter surprise), so I can only now turn my attention to adjucating.
Anyway, this past year has seen five leading contenders further emerge, one power being eliminated and the remaining three face a precarious existence in a world dominated by the Big Five.
The adjustments feature several interesting items. No French or Austrian fleets. An Arctic fleet for the Tsar. A Swedish build at Gothenburg, i.e. Stockholm (wc). As for Spain, her naval builds and absence of rival shipbuilding on the Mediterranean shores make the Inner Sea pretty much a Spanish lake.
What might 1651 hold in store for us? Will any of the Big Five fight eachother? Or will those battles be postponed a little longer? At the expense of the three "have-nots"?
I wish you all a happy and blessed Easter season.
Charles
