She sent some minions to the Duke, who presented him with a letter of transit signed by Frederick the Great with ten cents offered as a sweetener so that the Duke would not create any trouble.<br /><br />On a later turn, the Duke offered me 10 cents if I would drive the Cossacks out of town. I then offered the same amount to the Cossacks if they would attack Pettygree's convoy, which they did.Der Alte Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578422757511400566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504742686650223041.post-74707873913287506402014-12-08T05:31:03.740-06:002014-12-08T05:31:03.740-06:00Rohan,

These were represented by using real USA coins. $.01 = one mark.<br />-----<br />Example: The Harbormaster had a set fee to charge Lady d'Winter to board the ship in which she departed Gildershaven. 1/2 Mark per person as I recall. He could have lined his pockets and charged more. Both parties could have negotiated. When the deal was struck, d'Winter really paid the fee in USA coins, boarded the ship and departed.<br />-----<br />Cheers,<br />Bill P.

No love lost then between Milady de Winter & Lady Pettygree? Are you able to detail/describe some instances of how the "monetary system" of the game worked ? Sounds like an intriguing option. I gather Bill Protz is one of the hosts - I thought I recognised the room setup?

I wonder if he noticed a similar black and red coach on that occasion and in Gildershaven. Will he become suspicious? A coincidence or nothing?<br />-----<br />Very good report,<br />Bill P.Galliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12258909398832285314noreply@blogger.com
