-England is obliged to protect the Empire and the Emperor in case of foreign agression (no obligation to support offensive wars waged by the Emperor), It's NAP with France will be respected and in case of a war between France and the Emperor England is not required to support the Emperor.

Further artifcles and in-game effects are to be discussed between Austria and England.
 
are we playing i think i might find some subs
 
Very good session. Lots of fun and the hosting was great. Not a single lag loan from Spain. Elidio I hope you show up to more sessions it was nice having you around. Now where are those stats Mat. I want to see just how strong the OE got.
 
Stats

OE is speeding ahead in most fields, but England aren't that far behind. If that 10% from the lag-bankruptcy had not happened.... Then I would be on par, I'm pretty sure.

But now the reformation will take care of much happenings, and I'm glad I've worked up some cash and a somewhat stable line of possessions. Let the religious wars begin!
 
Interesting stats. I think the next few sessions should get interesting. Western Europe might get ugly while the OE just sits in there corner of the world quite free from conflict.
