It did occur to be that I should leave Rouen Protestant to encourage a rebellion just so as to get this war into the open, but that would have been silly (I blame the witches). Anyway, I have saved the Spanish from themselves and revived Catholicism in Europe.
The Grand Turk took full advantage of his naval superiority to pirate his way through the Ioanian Sea. He lost a corsair to the Kinghts of Malta, but looted a two Spanish merchant fleets and sent another to the bottom. "Ay, caramba! Turgut Reis came through this time" yelped the Philip II, build an anti-piracy fortress in Havanna and used science from the New World to perfect the Telescope.. Drunk again he was already down to two cards and the Spanish Road. After the Untimely Death of Montmorency in Paris England built a Galleon in Portsmouth. Villegaignon settled a new colony in Montreal and sailed down to Florida. Meanwhile our foremost scientist and navigator le Testu went to circumnavigate the world with the help of the Experianced Pilot from Austria. Henszlein discovered the Falklands by driving my expedition onto the rocks and they were lost without a trace. Le Testu was going to loot the Chileian Coast in revenge for Iconiclastic Fury, but now Villegaignon the Vengeful ravaged the Spanish Caribbean, sacking Havanna and capturing two treasure galleons and returning to France with his booty. The Emperor increased his influence with Venice and Rome, but up north the Scottish Lords Rebel!. Having founded a dynasty with Mary William of Orange encouraged the Presbyterians to overthrough the Catholic Mary. Despite holding Edinburgh Castle and having the backing of the Border Reivers she was driving from her own kingdom and William made himself Regent for the infant King James VI. Mary was imprisoned in Carlisle and relations between England and Spain fell. In celebration unrest quietened in la Rochelle and the city hired 1,000 mercenaries.
The Ottomans captured Foreign Volunteers from Spain and now used them to pump up their garrisons in Algiers and Tripoli. Spain responded with an explosion of energy; reinforcing Brussels, hiring mercenaries in Madrid, increasing his influence with the Papacy, sending a patrol to the Guinea Coast and patronizing the scientist Herrera. England sent Hawkins with a colony to the South Atlantic while building a fourth fleet and putting all his ships out to sea for manoeuvres. Not wishing to join these manoeuvres the French fleet sailed down to Gibraltar on a goodwill tour of the Spanish Empire. Meanwhile I sent the Huguenot Frenchman la Sores on a looting spree in the Spainish Main. L'ange exterminateur "The Exterminating Angel" sacked Panama and took another treasure galleon. I wonder if Philip II is regreting supporting the Huguenot Heretics in France yet? For an outlay of 15,000 louis d'or I had founded two colonies (worth 5,000 gold), captured three treasure galleons (worth 4,000 gold) and sacked three cities. I also crushed heresy in France, converting La Rochelle (with some unrest), Bordeaux and Boulogne. The Emperor still curried favour with the Pope and hinted that he could engineer a Rising in the North of England to help Spain, but was rebuffed. The Protestants unleashed Calvinist Zeal to cause unrest in Rouen and convert Brest, Bordeaux, la Rochelle, Utrecht, Arnhem,'s-Hertogenbosch and Rotterdam.
