Hallo zusammen,
England's expedition to the "cockpit of Europe" (Flanders) has proved shortlived. Apparently fighting the Stewarts back at home is all Cromwell's about these days. Rather interestingly, we now see the traditional strongholds of royalist power in "godly" hands, whereas the cavaliers at hunkered down in the Great Wen.
1660 has the bigger powers end with 16, 14 and 12 SCs respectively under their belt. Shall one single ruler become the hegemon of the continent?
Whatever the future may hold, the two-way Polish-Turkish draw proposal has now failed. Yet we now have another proposal up for the vote, namely to concede the game to Turkey. So you guys have again something new to vote on.
The Spring 1661 Moves are due Friday, 30 June 6 PM CET.
Good luck to the US vs. Ghana!
Charles
