some of us have to work for a living! i go away and another MC is declared!
okay... taking it easy... using rule 221b i can play Euston Square (a little bit audacious i know) but it does display the merits of avoiding reverse-badgering.

Gives me the chance to play the wonderfully elegant Parry glide! Not had the privelege before, but it allows me to cross-strile the lines of unequal vector potential and end up at Barbican.

I know! You guys are just making all this up on the fly to scare the hell out of all us yanks! I'm on to you...
Am sorry to here you say this. Whilst I've only recently taken to the game, I have come across this type of prejudice on a number of occasions and, sadly, it appears that despite the game's long and venerable history it is an enduring one. Within the game, rumours abound as to the motives of those who perpetuate such heresy - some speak of enclaves scattered around the globe dedicated to it's downfall, others of those who, in their ignorance, don't realise the precarious state of a game already divided into factions along the fault lines of differing conventions. All we ask is to be allowed to enjoy the game without such insinuation. In the spirit of mutual acceptance.

I'm not 100% sure of the legality of this move but here goes anyway. Can i go all the way to Tower Hill?

A first time player here so forgive me if I make what might seem an amateurish move, but I believe, unless we're still not allowing the Luxemborg that Vauxhall might be the way to go.

I believe that allows the scissor manouver. Tooting Broadway!

I STILL can't believe I won my first game. Show's that studying the tactics before diving in really helps!

the only decent response to tooting broadway would be to use the 1987 gugenheim amendment ( part II) and go with paddington. a solid move in my opinion cutting out triangulation and bi-lateral movement across the third district.

Are we allowing the turnpike lane quadrouple-back movement? If so I'll take Dollis Hill which if I am not mistaken leaves whoever follows me only able to capture West Ferry or Aldwych and with Aldwych closed I can leap in to win.

That is unless we're allowing single back moves?
