Empire 1 to start of French 4th Investment
Tile.
--------------
VP at 5, French go first, using the hard
won Baltic Sea Advantage.
F1: With Baltic Sea, we use the 3D to
take the American Advantages and Hyder
Ali to flip the Indian one.
B1: 2D Major & Corsican Crisis & 2 debt
& 2 TP's in Europe.
F2: The Navy.
B2: Calico Acts! VP to 2.
French near death. Losing all Global
Demand. British move last and can take
Prestige with their Fleets.
F3: 4E+2d(ebt) in North American including
removing the isolated flags from
Niagara and Allegheny, and a Fish
market.
B3: 4D Major plus Minister and debt.
Rather than taking two Europe Prestige
spaces, Brits take one in Europe and
one in India. If the British had
taken a second Prestige space that
may have been it for France. Instead
France was about to shift 12 Action
Points worth of Prestige spaces.
F4:2M2D and 'The Great Northern War' which
shifts Russia and gives 1D for a Major.
A 4M2D is still out so the British can
bump the two European French Sqds and
change Prestige from 5:4 to 3:6, then
with a debt take a Prestige space for
3:7. The French must assume a 3:7 as
they take their turn with 0 TP and
3 debt.
'The Great Northern War'
a) Event shifts Russia, 3:6, and allows
a 1D Major.
b) Exhaust the 'Silesian Negotiations'.
As a European Advantage this give 1TP
per the 'Pompadour' minister. Use
1TP then to remove British Prussian
Prestige flag. 3:5.
c) Use all the remaining debt (3) and add
to 1D from event and 2D Minor, for
6D. Flag Prestige in Prussia and
Russia, 5:5.
z) The 2M Major removes the two
conflicts from the protected markets
of Northern India, now 8:6
Unless Britain has an event... no, there
is no Event tile left. It appears France
will barely survive this turn since Fur,
secured on the 3rd by the French, will
remain French.
Rather than send Squadrons to Europe they
go to India and the British flip India
to 7:8 for a 2VP swing. The Diplomatic
minor takes a German State.
