Since Thrax seems to be playing rather a lot in this game, I have ample opportunity to study the intended style and position before plunging in. In this case, with Lancaster Gate, for maximum inconvenience - nothing personal, but I'm not about to let anybody get too far ahead purely through overactivity ;-)

So, playing hard ball are we, Mr Ellis? Very well, so be it. Moredon, says I, and let that be a lesson to you.

since this game seems to be slowing down one turn should last long enough to play all four Acton's, thats right north south east and west all in one verry long turn. now are you happy JLE?

Indeed, JLE, our friend Thrax is proving to be somewhat hyperactive. Thus, me being an aging fuddy duddy, Old Street collecting a pensioner's card and twenty free senior citizens' podumes on the way. The fact that they are dusty and somewhat fragile makes no difference in the right hands.

Dollis Hill again.
