We had all seen the mighty Ottoman navy in action and the luck ones had seen it before it went to the bottom, many, many times... How would the Jaffa eating Jasinaries fare? Famous Turkish Leader Guy raised some more recruits in Buda just to make sure then marched on Pressburg with 11,000 Foot and 1,000 Cavalry. The Imperial garrison, recently reinforced by 1,000 regulars and 2,000 mercenaries from Vienna wisely hid inside. The general military consensus was that with the Turks it was best to retire to a safe distance before they self-ignited. Spain postponed the building of the Spanish Armada so he could preach catholicism in England (converting London and Carlisle), suppress heresy in the Netherlands (Antwerp and Rotterdam) and thus increased his influence with the Pope, then used his remaining treasure to restore order to Seville....

Suddenly an unearthly orange light suffused the world as the Protestants played Gregorian Calendar and the Spanish, English, French and Imperial turns sped forward as if they never occurred. Using the powers of Calvinist Zeal he lauched a rebellion in Limoges, Clermont and Bourges and another in Antwerp, where the Walloon guard fell into a time warp. Using the treasure from the New World he encouraged a third rebellion in Boulogne. "Point of Order" cried Spain "You cannot rebel twice in the same religious area in the same impulse". I check the book of international regulations regarding virgin queens, but it was not forbidden; "If two Rebellions are initiated in the same impulse they must target different religious struggle areas", it doesn't say what happens if there are three rebellions. We called on the Supreme Being to resolve the issue and a mighty voice from the heavens did saith "ONLY ONE REBELLION PER IMPULSE PER RELIGIOUS STRUGGLE AREA". Taking this as a sign of victory William of Orange instead decided to advance and besiege Brussels.

Meanwhile the Ottoman siege works were proceeding at record speed when Famous Turkish Leader got his thumb stuck on the fast-forward button. The Sultan himself has come to see the glorious victory of Ottoman arms, and told Mehemed he could commence the assault, pleased that he had finally remembered his name. "It's Mehmet, you cloth-eared old fool" replied Famous Turkish General as the Turks lined up for the slaughter, losing 1,000 Green Meanies while killing 2,000 Imperial anti-stormtroopers. Well, we got most of it done I suppose.

Spain was still coming to grips with the new calendar, the 10 day jump meant that Phillip II has missed his wedding anniversary with dire consequences. Eager for peace he brokers a deal with the Dutch Revolt which allowed Spain, England and the Protestant to pick up some kudos. The Walloons emerged from their time warp in Mons and the treasure was reused to suppress unrest in Seville.

I woke up late, having missed nothing and saw the fiend Drake sail west after seeing the Signal Fires from England. It was time to impose some order so I used Gouvernante de France to force the Protestants back into peaceful co-existance, as Calais, Rouen, Lyon, Clermont, Bourges, La Rochelle all reverted to Catholicism. I converted the new world treasure from Spaion into euors and picked up Grand Tour, what luck! The Emperor was inclined to raise 4,000 mercenaries, but decided that fear would be a more effective weapon. hiring only 2,000 mercenaries in Szigetvar he used a web of informants to swathe the frontier with posters "FAMOUS TURKISH LEADER GUY, WANTED DEAD OR VERY DEAD, REWARD OF 2,000 GOLD DUCATS". The war was getting nasty.
