Lord Charles Monk writes to Admiralty employers…
Horse Guards, Westminster 1686
Aberdeen & Ballaculish have fallen! The last Scottish rebel lords bow the knee to their rightful King. At long last, the dream of uniting these islands under one rule has been achieved….Only at the cost of many lives, though - both English troopers and Scottish clansmen.
A diplomatic mission has been commissioned to treat with those parts of the Caribbean still not under English (or should I say “British” now?) rule.
Sir George Abercromby is preparing another expedition against the Indians.
Chas.
Charles Monk, 2nd Duke of Albemarle

Go for it Henrik! 
But don't forget to post your turns as well as emailing them!

Horse Guards, Westminster 1687
My Lords,
General Abercromby’s expedition has met with total success so far. The old French fort at Tinconderoga – since occupied by the Iroquois – has fallen with hardly a shot fired. Also, a new fort has been constructed at the head of Lake Ontario – very near the huge waterfall recently discovered by our scouts. The savages in the area have been thoroughly cleared out, the General informs me.
Aside from that, the new sanitation works in the Capital are near completion. I think we will all appreciate any reduction in the foul stink that haunts London’s streets!
No news yet on the King’s longtitude competition, but it is early days yet.
Finally, I have to warn the King’s ministers that this ill-advised policy of Catholic toleration is not playing well in the Country or Parliament. The King is playing with fire here!

I am definitely hitting Ctrl-N at the end of my turns. I have just loaded my last saved game (as any of you can do if you want - I'll send you my password) and you will see all English units cannot move, even the fortified ones.
It looks like the AI has traded Flintlock for the Dutch, possibly with the Indians. Have you traded Flintlock to the Indians, Henrik? I haven't. Check to see if one of them has it (load the game as an Iroquois for example, they aren't passworded).
TCP/IP, net Game. Yes.
Please post your weirdo game, Chris, after changing your password to something I can be told, and I will look into it.
(Your proper password will then still protect your active game).
Changing the turn order now might mess things up, but I'll try it with one of my earlier saved games, play a few turns, and see. To do this, you will all have to send me your active passwords, but you can change them all straight away. You'd have to take my word that I would only peek into a 1670 game or something, nothing too near our current position.
I certainly have no problems with net games of Colonies playing Dutch/English as human and the rest AI. I have played up to 1750 with no problems. (We stopped the game there as the other guy had to go home to his family - spoilsport!)

1688 a year of grief:
Today my father, the great Henri de Lohmander passed on. After having fought valiantly against the strange and evil disease which also resulted in the loss of the ability to move his arms a few years ago, he died in his chambers in our family manor in Normandie today, dictating orders to the collonial governors into the very last moment.
As his oldest soon I will now take on the task that was once my fathers.
I have also started to update his journal, which as you must have noticed, has been left unchanged since the disease reached my fathers arms. He could not trust a servant to write in his place, and so several years of our families history in the service of the king is sadly lost.
I will undertake to shortly tell what has happened during the last few years, I can sadly not give any dates or be very specific, as the man whit all the details is dead and deeply mourned.
- Great progress has been made in the North-Eastern parts of the New World, the provinces of Ottawa, Powatomi Hills and Fox Woods has been added to the french possesions.
- Traders have been traviling between the old and new world continiously during these years, and due to the wise trade policies of my father this nations economy is booming.
- In Africa the province of Agadir has been added to the French colonial empire, and several expiditions has been sent into the dark and unexplored lands of Africa
- Collonists has settled the prospering area in southern north america that is known as Luisiana, the collony of Noveaoux Orleans was erected at the incredibly important riverfork, all trade on the river will now be tolled by the French.
- Several traders has opened enterprises trading whit the Dutch collonies and the Low Countries themselves. The relations between the Netherlands and France is softening up.
- The Meditereanean Fleet has passed trough the Straits of Gibraltar and is headed for the new world.
That is but a few of the great things that my father was able to conduct as long as he was still alive. I can only hope that I will be able to somewhat live up to the great expectations that everyone has for his succesor.
- Henri the younger
- Head of the Lohmandér family
- First minister of France

Lord Charles Monk writes to a fellow MP in Parliament…
Westminster Palace, 1689
My Lord Duke,
The pirate’s nest of San Jorge, weakened by many punitive Dutch raids over the last twelvemonth, has fallen into our hands without a shot fired! Due to an unfortunate confusion over names, it too has been called St. Kitts. The previous colony should now be called Guadeloupe, I gather, after it’s original French name.
In another change, the old settlement of James Town has been renamed “Norfolk” after the Duke now running the colony, to remove unfortunate associations with the King’s predecessor.
Closer to home, the new King’s continued largesse has made him the most popular English Monarch in living memory. Quite an achievement in a country never too partial to Kings. One of his most successful innovations has been the more tolerant attitude to the Englishmen in the New World who are carrying on their own private war against the Papists – and the Papists’ gold! That gold would sit well in our depleted Royal Exchequer. Although it is not yet official policy, methinks a change is in the wind….
Your obedient servant, Sir.
Charles Monk, 2nd Duke of Albemarle
