Compass: No Peace Without Honor!

Compass: No Peace Without Honor!

No Peace Without Honor (NPWH) is a two-player game depicting Louis XIV’s earliest European wars, the War of Devolution 1667-68, the Dutch War 1672-78 and the War of the R〓unions 1679-1684. This stand alone game uses the No Peace Without Spain System. The focus is on Louis’ carefully planned invasion of the Dutch Republic, which was foreseen as a short, sharp conflict, similar to the War of Devolution. However, the conflict unexpectedly became a pan-European conflagration for which none of the participants were prepared. This game, through the War of the R〓unions option, can be linked to Nine Years War and No Peace Without Spain to play out the entire 46-year span of the wars of Louis XIV as a grand campaign game.In 1668, Louis XIV made a quick land grab at the expense of the Spanish Habsburgs. But at the ensuing peace talks, Louis had accepted what he saw as humiliating terms. Although he kept the fortress city of Lille in Flanders, he had to relinquish his other conquests. The Dutch Republic played a key role in curbing Louis’ expansionist plans, and he never forgave what he saw as a betrayal by an erstwhile ally. His plans of revenge came to fruition in 1672. By secret treaties, he detached the Republic’s allies, Sweden and England. While England would launch an invasion from the sea with the combined Anglo-French fleets, Louis himself would lead the main invasion, famously crossing the Rhine at the Dutch frontier at Lobith. But, instead of a short, limited war, Louis’ adventure would lead to a European conflagration lasting almost five decades.This stand alone game uses the No Peace Without Spain System. A new countersheet provides additional leaders, such as the young Prince William of Orange, or the skilled Bourbon veterans Turenne and Cond〓. The Sun King himself, Louis XIV, can make an appearance. A new set of event cards features incidents such as the Ottoman threat to Austria, colonial wars and the Anglo-Dutch naval war. Players must not only battle each other, but also deal with increasing war weariness among their respective populations which can trigger more political and economic events, and eventually force you to the peace table whether you are ready or not.Can Louis XIV conquer the Dutch Republic in one swift campaign? Or will the French armies become literally bogged down in front of the Dutch Water Line defenses? Can the young Prince of Orange rally his people and forge a lasting coalition against his Bourbon foes?While this is a complete game on its own, combined with Nine Years War and No Peace Without Spain, players can refight the entire wars of Louis XIV in one grand campaign from 1668 to 1713.“In many ways, No Peace Without Honor is the most accessible game in the NPWS series… quick playing, many difficult decisions and just the right amount of chrome to make it feel authentic.” ?

このようなブラシタイプのストレートアイロンを購入してみました。髪の毛に合わせての温度設定も四段階に切り替えができて、使い易かったです。予想外に楽にセットができたように感じます。主電源が根元にあり、子供が勝手に電源をいれてのいたずらや間違いは起こらないようになっていて安心して使ってます。これから活用させてもらいます。

飲み口がむき出しなので、飲み物を入れる際、蓋を逆さに置くと飲み口が下になりテーブルなどに直につく。かといって、飲み口を上にするとスクリュー部分が下になる。お皿などあればいいけど、オフィスだとそんなモノはない。洗い物も増やしたくない。容量は丁度いい。ホワイトは、コーヒー着色とれない

布団を入れるには小さい。寸法を布団の実寸で確認したら良かったのかも知れないけど、ジャンボと書いてあった時点で、他社のLL寸より大きいと勝手に想像していて残念。ただ、入口を止めるための留め具が付いていて、しっかりロックできるのはいいところ。他社のもので、ロックしにくいもので苦労したことがあるので、これはとても使いやすいと感じております。今度はもう少し大きいものを買い増す予定。
