Indeed - under the Wallington Whipping ruleset, the winner goes first. But Steve, as there's a host of new players eager to join (Darkside and Arch), may I suggest use of Begginer's rules instead? That is, no transverse blocking and half-fares on district and circle lines.

I would probably bring a girlfriend, but you know - whatever floats your boat. ^_^ <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 20 years later, I still love Doomdarks Revenge :D <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ouch. :D

On this day in 1940... Operation Catapult is launched July 3rd 1940, British naval forces destroy the French fleet at Mers-el-Kebir, a port in Algeria, in order to prevent Germany from co-opting the French ships to use in an invasion of Britain. With the occupation of France, the German aggressor was but a Channel away from Britain. In order to prevent the Germans from using French battleships and cruisers in an attack on Britain, Operation Catapult was conceived: the destruction or capture of every French ship possible. The easiest stage of Catapult was the seizure of those French ships already in British ports. Little resistance was met. But the largest concentration of French warships was at the Oran, Algeria, port of Mers-el-Kebir, where many warships had fled to escape the Germans. This stage of Catapult would prove more difficult. Britain gave the French ships four choices: join British naval forces in the fight against Germany; hand the ships over to British crews; disarm them; or scuttle them, making them useless to the Germans. The French refused all four choices. Britain then made a concession: Sail to the French West Indies, where the ships would be disarmed or handed over to the United States. The French refused again. So the Brits circled the port and opened fire on the French fleet, killing 1,250 French sailors, damaging the battleship Dunkerque and destroying the Bretagne and the Provence. On July 4, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill told the House of Commons that he would leave Britain's actions to "history." On July 5, Vichy France broke off diplomatic relations with Britain.

Indeed. That did ever so slightly bother me - this is inspite of the fact I was totally unfazed by the prospect of 'shooting up elmo'.

Some would say it was more like the ending of his life...but there's never a time like the present to start fresh, eh? ^_^

For once I'm going to say: download it! Bethesda hasn't rereleased it even once since 1996, and the copies that are on the market are going for 50-200$, depending on condition. It's insane that a 9 year old game is more expensive than a brand new game from 2005. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have no idea where I'd be able to do this <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ouyay ightmay antway otay ytray Imewirelay orway Ittorrentbay, Arqueday. :ph34r:

But beware the bukkake head shot my little friend.

"Have no fear - for I am here!"

"I think you're a sexy beast, Eru."

You don't say.

I'm up for another game - for if it weren't for Reveilled's MacGuire Gambit City Line Variation I would have had it in the bag I tell you.

Alas - you're in a bit of a pickle. Given your counter-clockwise rotation around the Dollis Hill loop, your Line Velocity to Elephant and Castle could not have been greater than 5 but less than 10. Given that flange rules on Saturday are now in effect, I automatically gain access to the Circle Lines.

But even the possibilty of playing the Teybridge Default means that you're familiar with the Kafinikov variation. Very impressive. If we're allowing backcrosssing at the Waterloo then I'll go to Arsenal.

RGN: You know, T3-M4 is a pretty resourceful little

Relative to the board's usual standards - it's not really spamming until someone starts hurling "yo' mamma" jokes at the topic starter.

This one clearly hasn't read Shatterpoint. Unless of course that was a self-critique - in which case, who am I too judge? ^_^

Are you hitting on me Eru?!

Stop trying to seduce him, Eru. ^_^

Let's see - I'll go for...Dollis Hill. ^_^

Agenzia Giornalistica Italia, Maggio 1, 1901 Imminent German War? by Luigi the Chef Growing speculation from military sources in the media indicate Lord Jaguar's troops are on the brink of a mass invasion into Germany. Prime Minister "Fat Tony" D'Amico commented on the relative naivity in Emperor Kaftan Barlast's movements. When asked about the much speculated assault on Munich, "Fat Tony" laughed it off, "It's funny becuase it's true." Later when Lord Jaguar was available for comment he replied, "Mun-ich-what? Munch-me? Never heard of it. But certainly if there was a place called 'Munch-me', I'd naturally be obliged to munch it. More Importantly however, is the on going friendship between my beloved Italia and the sovereign nation of Austria-Hungary. My good friend Prime Minister Rimsircz has charged me with guarding our shared border from nefarious predators such as those warmongering Germans - whilst he spreads our 'philosophy and kindness' to the rest of the European peasants. Our faith and friendship is such, that not only was I entrusted to protect his vital supply station Trieste, but he also allowed me use of his land in Tyrolia to stab those bloody Ger...germs - yes, that's it! We live in the primitive 20th century where many good greaseball still die from trivial things such as germs and bacteria." Meanwhile, media sources have still yet to confirm the alleged recently forged alliance between President Kryoxer Baley's France and Italy. France and Italy are suspected to be launching a joint strike on the German supply center of Munich towards the Fall of this year.
