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.” ?

食洗機と電子レンジ対応との事、だったので購入しましたが約五ヶ月使用して取っ手？の所からヒビが、入ってきて飲み物が染みだすようになってきて終わりでした！　使い方としては、3～4日のサイクルで冷蔵庫に入っている飲み物を、60～70℃位まで電子レンジで加熱、使用後は食洗機で洗って茶箪笥に入れて寘くの繰り返しです。ちなみに、同じ使い方をしてい二つのマグカップは100円ショップで買って5年以上使っている物です。近頃、中々この容量が無くやっと見つけたコイツですが、ハズレなのか耐久性がないのか分かりません。

嫁に購入。ここ３年、夫婦で屋内市民プールに通っており、そちらで使うため購入。私はヒザ上のロングと太もものミドル。嫁は半袖ハイネックタイプとノースリーブ襟ぐり深いタイプ。計４着を使い回しています。生地も厚くて、着圧もあって、それでいて安い。（←これ大事）プールに通っている人もおじちゃん、おばちゃんなので、あまりメーカーにこだわりはなく、ガンガン使っていこうと思っています。

耐久性などはつけてすぐなので、星３つですが、デザイン性と蛇口の回すとこがとても滑らかで使いやすいです。アンティークな雰囲気がとても気に入ってます。庭用にも買いたいな♪

六畳のタタミをフローリングにしたくて90×400を3枚購入しました。繋ぎ目もわかりにくく、丸まって届くので多少浮くと思っていたのですが床にピッタリと敷けました。ハサミでカットする時も簡単に切れました。フローリングの色もかわいくて気に入ってます。また買うと思います。
