PG in 29.5 moves

This was my first [sound] attempt at creating the longest PG I could.

Edit: please PM solutions so that all have a chance to solve.

Nice to see I've left a legacy 😕 Anyway, no time to try this today. Some people from our church came over, and I've just enough time to type this before I need to get back to them.

See, your PG is orthodox. I have no shame. I have ugly promoted force all over the board.

Perhaps this is a part of PG theory I've completely skimmed, but why stop there, could you not go further?

Could I not take that pgn and add more, thus making my PG longer than your PG?

The hard part is keeping it sound [only one sequence of moves possible to reach the final position].
