Perhaps Bill will be kind enough to pop one of my light ships into the Western Med.
1221 12/1/2023 5:08:00 PM Turn 1 Ottomans Message If you roll a "1" in a naval battle when eliminating your opponent's force, you also get to capture an enemy ship you hit instead of sinking it.

Alright, managed to bollix up the naval battles. In the Central Atlantic, 3 dice for Castile, 3 dice for Portugal. Draw for a Portuguese leader is Vlad, with two white dice. These will be the last two
1215 12/1/2023 4:51:00 PM Turn 1 Castile Message Hi Darren, you're right, I rolled one per ship. Fortunately, I did the land battle correctly
1214 12/1/2023 4:50:00 PM Turn 1 Castile Message I count 5 hits for Castile, 1 hit for Portugal. Castile loses 1 inf. With only 2 inf ramaining, Portugal will retreat.
1213 12/1/2023 4:48:00 PM Turn 1 Ottomans Message Mike, I'm not sure what you were doing in those naval battles - you were supposed to roll 3 blue dice for each side, not 1 die per ship.

I have used the game state in 034 as starting point and added all of Castille's and Englands moves. That ought to solve it, but everyone should check.

I took this event to gain an African foothold...and unfortunately Austria, and more specifically Venetia, kinda suffered a bit from it. Nothing personal - just business. (And I didn't really want to target you, but the alternative was targeting you and two other people, and thereby putting three targets on my newly acquired Vassal instead of one.)

Austria has to choose whether to place a Claim in Algiers or Tunisia, but if Brian is ready first, I reckon he should go ahead and make his next French move. (France is now up.)

1136 11/17/2023 8:51:00 AM Turn 1 Ottomans Message The answer to this rules question on Discord (from @Mikhs) is that you are not forced to claim a Milestone - you only do so when you want to.

That then begs the question of whether or not we should allow France to retroactively claim this Milestone first. I know in the other PBEM game I'm playing with several of you, there was a Milestone which I'd forgotten I was able to claim, and it took me quite a few turns to realize I could claim it...and I only did claim it then. But frankly, I'm happy to let Brian decide how he wants to resolve this for France, if that works for everyone else.
1135 11/17/2023 7:32:00 AM Turn 1 England Message I have no problem with seeding the discard pile (I'd better not since I was the idiot who caused the problem).

I think Milestones are claimable as the player decides rather than be automatic.
1134 11/17/2023 5:03:00 AM Turn 1 Poland Message I'm fine with drawing random cards for discard pile.


Regarding Milestones, I'm not sure what's correct. Rules are not clear on this, but when I first read them I also had an impression that completing Milestones is automatic. However, on Discord server people have claimed that Milestones may be delayed like Missions, and I now lean towards this interpretation, just because it makes things more consistent in my opinion.

I guess we simply need to agree on a ruling. I'm fine with either option.

And something to be aware of regarding this decision: In most cases there is no reason for a player to want to delay completing a Milestone, but there are at least two cases when it might be desired:
- Sometimes scoring immediately wastes some of the reward (if player's Monarch Power pool is full or if extra ducats will bring them over corruption threshold)
- Completing "Dismantle the HRE" (Diplomatic Milestone, Age IV) sets Authority to 0, so the Emperor might not want to score it even if they meet the requirements (Occupy, Own, or Vassalize all Provinces in 3+ original Elector Areas)

1133 11/16/2023 10:24:00 PM Turn 1 Castile Message Restocking the discard is fine with me
1132 11/16/2023 8:35:00 PM Turn 1 Austria Message > Agreed

To making a discard pile, that is.
1131 11/16/2023 8:35:00 PM Turn 1 Austria Message Agreed.

> do you immediately and automatically score
> Milestones without having to claim them as such?

Now that you mention it, I think you do. The rules do not say explicitly, but formulations like "The first player to complete a Milestone scores 5 VP" and "The tie breaker, if several players complete a Milestone at the same time, is Turn order" imply that it is completion, not claiming, that counts.
1130 11/16/2023 7:12:00 PM Turn 1 Ottomans Message The Prestige figures I just changed here in ACTS reflect France getting 5 Prestige for the Milestone, and me getting 3 for the Milestone + 2 for Researching the Idea. (If that's correct, I'd ask France to change the Prestige in his next move file.)

By the way, I'm uncomfortable with there not being 5+ Admin cards in the Discard Pile, following the mistaken reshuffling of all of the Admin cards at the start of this Round. (It is important for such cards to be in place for a number of different purposes.) Before starting my turn, I actually tried to restore the 5 cards that should have remained in place...but it seems as though several of them have already been drawn by other players, so it wasn't possible to fix that. I'm inclined to suggest that we remedy this by immediately drawwing 3 random cards from the deck and adding them to the bottom of the discard pile so that we do have enough cards in place there; how would everyone else feel about that?

I spent 5 AP to Research "Church Attendance Duty", which allowed me to complete the "Innovative Administration" Milestone (having now Researched 4+ Ideas), gaining 2 AP back as well as removing Unrest from Smederevo. Between the two I also gain 7 Prestige.

(Actually, having said that...do you immediately and automatically score Milestones without having to claim them as such? If so, France started Age II with 4 Ideas already Researched, so perhaps I should only get 3 Prestige instead of 5 for the Milestone, and France should immediately get 5 Prestige + 2 AP before starting her next turn.)

Either way, France is now up.
