Mornington Crescent

[Anon Mouse]

how about a triple flip twice removed to Wembley Park?

 

[imagination]

Is Merton's gambit in place?

Because if so then I can go to... St Paul's

 

[OxtedL]

In that case...

Mitcham Junction.

 

[DaveNewcastle]

Oh,

Sevenoaks

 

[ralphchadkirk]

I guess that means with the numerical rules I can go to Seven Sisters.

 

[Anon Mouse]

right, in that case I'll have to use a superfast 2011 move to Ebbsfleet International

 

[imagination]

mor...


mor...


mor...


mortimer.

 

[DaveNewcastle]

And I was expecting St Pauls Cray

London Bridge

 

[RyanB]

A hop, a skip, a jump and a bit of pythagoras and on we go to Lambeth North

 

[DaveNewcastle]

Elephant & Castle

 

[Anon Mouse]

Time for a Stolen Wheel Rims rule and to do a Sandhills

 

[ralphchadkirk]

Time for a Stolen Wheel Rims rule and to do a Sandhills

Now you're just making thinks up!

 

[OxtedL]

... Mornington Crescent...

 

[RyanB]

^^^^^^^^^^
Damn YOU!!!!!!!!

 

[ralphchadkirk]

... Mornington Crescent...

Great! I just missed out on that one.

 

[DaveNewcastle]

Very Good!

 

[imagination]

And I must confess that I was about to go there too which means double points for you OxtedL

 

[OxtedL]

I think that's enough for one night, don't you...

 

[DaveNewcastle]

Yes. I'm quite exhausted after all that mental effort.

But I will look out my old set of rules later tonight; the ageing cat permitting. One day, I might even tell you the story about how I got a hold of them in the first place - its enough to say for now that it wasn't entirely legitimate and involved a much loved and sadly missed trumpeter leaving his trumpet case open in a dressing room late one night.

Looks like I missed a good game! Oxteds finishing move was pretty good there. I tried out James "101 ways to play Mornington Crescent" Harringtons variation not so long ago, christened "Harrington's Anomaly". It's as hard as hell.

No reverse moves, no sequential numbers, diagonal penultimate spaces are required to finish, and the South River territory only counts for half turns. It's...interesting.

But where was the lovely Samantha when you needed her?

I'll recommend always carrying a puncture repair kit.

 

[Welshman]

I'll recommend always carrying a puncture repair kit.

You're as mad as the rest of them!!!

 

[OxtedL]

Good afternoon everyone. I thought I'd kick off a new game now, just as lunch starts to kick in.

I fancy trying the new Montgomery rules for this one, which for those who don't know, are practically the same as Mortimer v3, but with the "Outplay" extension to the London and South East connections map permitted after a bilateral pincer.

As prime poster, I nominate references to the Oxted line as counting premium...

So... Covent Garden...

 

[clagmonster]

Hurst Green.

 

[OxtedL]

Smart move!

 

[imagination]

Liverpool Street

 

[OxtedL]

This can only mean...Amersham.

 

[imagination]

Chalfont & Latimer

I believe that limits you to shunt flips for now OxtedL

 

[OxtedL]

Drat...
