Sorry to steal thunder. I wasn't sure if my move on Boardman's Combined was legal or not, but my research didn't dissuade me from trying. I was as surprised as any that it wasn't auto-rejected. Sometimes perhaps we become too wrapped up in minutia of regulations and tiny alterations and house-rules that the obvious becomes obfuscated. So here is a simple game of Mornington Crescent. Everything starts open except where contradictions prevent, and local time is 2:57pm.

Raak is edging ahead here. Barbican, closing gates. That should curd him slightly. [Wymo] I say, that wasn't a Marie Celeste manoeuvre, was it? If so, very clever. I just hope it doesn't spread.

Finchley Road for negative LV... That should put the Pigeon amongst the Cats.

[Tuj, UE] Good, about time I got some concerted opposition. But unfortunately I'm forced to play Dollis Hill. And thanks to the negative LV, that's Dollis Hill, reversed. I think this might be quite entertaining, if you like gallows humour . . .

Dollis Hill then. Still, two podumes on Kensington (Olympia) at least gets the LV positive.

Dollis Hill that will learn me for taking too long between moves.

And seeing as Nesden-West Hampstead-MC are nicely colinear, and no-one has seen fit to raise LV anywhere it mattered, I can pivot to Mornington Crescent
[all] You really needed to build LV back up as quickly as possible; I was using a low-LV strategy, and it has paid off beautifully for me.

*shouts, screams generally goes wild for Simons Mith*

Fiddle, I feel rather responisble for that, not just for that ridiculous farkle but also the fact my LV play of late has gone up the spout somewhat. Still, well played Mr. Mith.
