Which means I can play to Bohemia

I've never heard of that before Xapi, TGM post was an Obso, not an Strato and his misspelling shouldn't have mattered. However, as you're new, I think we should allow your move.

TGM, does that put me in Nidd?

Thanks to Xapi, the cat is out of the bag and this thread should now die.

Without ending the game? Couldn't we bring in a sub?

@Xapi - are you an american by any chance?

Argentina isn't it?

Yep, Argentina.

We'll get a ruling from Figles and reconvene later if there is any interest?

@Xapi, I could e-mail you the shorterned version of the rules for beginners?

Sure, xapi.perez (at) gmail (dot) com

Maniac, I take offense to the American crack. When we reconvene, I will be invoking Cornwell's Prerogative against you and demanding a penalty.

My american crack as you called it wasn't in game, so the Cromwellian should apply. And it wasn't my turn!! Der

Der? Seriously? You play this game about as well as a rabbi commenting on a 'Favorite Bacon' thread.

Perhaps your difference of opinion relies in that Dingle invokes Cornwell and Maniac refers to Cromwell.

I believe this matter should be resolved by a third party with a higher knowledge of the rules.

That's my point I wasn't playing in game! I was in Nidd and the game had been suspended pending Figles Arbitration. How could my comment then result in a Cromwellian? Having said that I do apologise for the 'Der' remark. Uncalled for, I'm sorry.

I'm confused Maniac. Have you even read the rules? First you say "Cromwellian should apply" and then you say "How could my comment then result in a Cromwellian? " So which is it?

The Cornwall Prerogative, that went out after the first expansion. Didn't it, if it still current I haven't seen it played for ages.

This is what happens when rank amateurs try to play with the big boys.

Sorry, my typo in first response 'should' should've read 'shouldn't. '

CornwEll, not CornwAll you dolt! The originator of the Richard Sharpe defense! He is to this game what Edi is to Diplomacy. Or do you know nothing?

"Sorry, my typo in first response 'should' should've read 'shouldn't. '"

And next, in your Diplomacy games, are you going to say 'Sorry, that should say build ARMY Brest, not Fleet? Too bad, you know the rules and its in writing. (On 2nd thought, no, maybe you don't know the rules.)

Can we get a ruling please?

What exactly is "Ankara Crescent"? A google search results in absolutely no relevant links.

Dingle, lay off me. I thought initially that you invoked Cromwell Prerogative, not Cornwall, my mistake! That is what led to the confusion. Of course I've heard of Cornwell, I played with his nephew once. If you invoke his perogative when I'm in Nidd doesn't that release me from Nidd?

I give up!

You're unredeemable

Dingleberry Jones " I give up"

@Qoou - Ankara Crescent is a turn based Stratagy game, the main aim is to land in Ankara Crescent. The game has been around since Tudor times (The Tudor Court Variant being arguably one of the first variants) Unfortunately the rules are out off print and a dispute over copyright has prevented them from being published on the net. The BBC made a 2 part documentary on the rules and origins of Ankara Crescent in 2007 but it has yet to be shown because of scheduling difficulties.

Hm, could you please e-mail the rules to me? ([email protected])
