[Closed] Mornington Cresent anyone?

Northern Line flood variation

Kings Cross/St Pancras

Oh this is just going to be too easy! With amateurs like you lot on board, I mean, really. King's Cross/St Pancras? What on earth were you thinking?

Parson's Green. The hard way.

8) was unintended should have been revision 8

THE STRAND

no amateurs here!

how very dare you captain. Are you unfamiliar with the Flood variation of 2007?

Too mired in your old school ways, i tell you.

Edgeware road.

Mainline stations are wild in the 2007 Flood variation. Don't you mean the [i]1936[/i] Flood variation? Which of course is not covered by the post-WWII summer rules.

Finsbury Park - there is no 'r' in the month so all flood variations are wild i think you'll find.

I'm only aware of two flood variations. 1864 and 2007.

I call Hammersmith jink.

Bank

To be fair I've heard rumours the 1936 variation did actually originate at the 1864 congress. But I'm not totally convinced.

Anyway, I think silverpigeon just put the Docklands Light Railway (north of the river) into play, so -

Pudding Mill Lane.

The Sisters of Mercy sang about the variations in their Floodlands LP
....along with mother russia and some jaunt about rust

Tooting Beck via the bus (open top)

Well there's only one move left that's universally acceptable in both the flood variants and post WW2 amendments

Chancery Lane

Tower Pier.

Goldhawk Road.

(Get out of that!)

Baker St

Baker Street?

HOLMES INJUNCTION!

Pimlico.

Pimlico, before 1pm?! Shirley a sick bird of prey manouver?

Moorgate

Shoreditch avoiding Russel Square

Cock!Fosters.

I think you lot are making this up

so I'm going to stick it up your

Mudchute.

The one, the only, Dollis Hill.

Russel Square avoiding Shoreditch

Russell Square is an illegal move - or are you thinking the Moreton's convention is valid?

Which it isn't as mainline stations are wild

Moreton's convention..? [shudders at the thought]

Ladbroke Grove, avoiding both Russell Square *and* Shoreditch.

WTF are you on about?

i once thought that mornington cresent was a euphemism for something. i'm lost.
how does this work?

Shall we step this up a bit and see who the serious players are round here? Using the Cassidy method I'm going to skip all mainline options, finesse the entire Circle line with the exception of Piccadilly line interchanges and play Putney Bridge - who can recover from that?

alpin, please tell me you understand at least the basic rules?

See, thepurist has played Putney Bridge. This is rather clever, as it blocks the diagonal for me.

But, what he wasn't expecting was..........

Earlsfield.

Woooohaaaaaaaaaaah!

🙄

nope.

just checked it on wiki but still none the wiser.

Aha! Thankyou Captain.... finally a chance for something I've never thought I'd get the opportunity to try, but it's just opened up. Seven Sisters.

alpin, it's very easy to pick up once you get the hang of it.

Like riding a bike, in many ways.

thepurist, that's a classic move, sir, straight from the very top drawer! I am impressed.

However, it does leave Finchley wide open.

So, Finchley it is.

As I am currently sitting in an office in Paris I will invoke the Maginot spoiler from the post WWII summer rules.

Port Maillot. I think this blocks any main line station options for the next three moves

But the Blackfriars underpass reversal is also now open, so...

Elephant and Castle.

(Hah!)

Elephant and Castle? Bit old school and I believe, with modern variations previously discussed here, you're now in Nidd.

can I use my Get Out of Jail Free card yet?

Gah! You're right 😳 got a bit carried away there.

brakes - Member
can I use my Get Out of Jail Free card yet?

Only if you roll a double five.

?????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is the Grimaldi protocol being adhered to here?

If so. St Pauls

Captainmainwaring I believe your strategy is flawed, Mornington Croissant amendments cannot be applied to Post WWII rules

Nothing wrong with old school moves. Here's a conservative one

Finchley

Camden Town.

Silverpigeon LOL

erm - didn't Alpin win?
