Winter rules still in affect but watch out for Kitchener's Revolt if you're on a branch line. The "Picolax revision" still hasn't been finalised so there are no time restraints. I'll start:

Haversham East

After the [url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/mornington-cresent-anyone ]debacle of a couple of weeks ago[/url], can I remind everyone that the Germanic rules are NOT permissable.

Haversham is an interesting opening gambit.

I think i'm still in the buffers. Plus you lot play a variation of the rules that, to be honest, I don't feel are in the spirit of the original game.

I'll hold on for a bit, see if any traditionalists come in before i play my move.

Bloody niche players.

OMITN, today's the last day. Very topical.

However, I shall go a bit obscure on you here and cross the diagonal.

West Hampstead.

Tottenham Court Road, and I think that allows me to leave a trailing blocker for northbound moves

Quite right, Pook. Which means that Warren Street is still permitted.

REPETITION!

In which case, DEVIATION! (and in so doing, block myself for three moves).

Damn.

If not that then what properties on the Monopoly board are legit moves?

can't have Old Kent Road owing to the Stockholm Consortium debacle of '78. Poor show pippin.

I think you will find that the fallout from Stockholm only applies when Old Kent Road is used on even days of the month Pook.

Can I? I think I can, but I just wanted to check that I was still allowed to block the Central Line. Winter Rules are over, yes?

Winter rules still apply for the next 2days or 15moves which ever is sooner. Now which is it?

see, that was my problem, the title mentions a check on winters rule but the OP never said whether they were in play or not. It's like the 1982 Bathgate mess allover again!

No, no, no. In the Diana funeral memorandum it specifically states that when three concurrent rules are in play, nothing beginning with L is permissable. Therefore pook's move is invalid, so you cannot go to MC.

Damn, damn and damn.

And damn again. I really must pay more attention.

Heathrow Terminal 4 - obvious so no explanation needed, but a little open to a Paddington finesse

Well, it's obvious if it's Tooting Bec but if it was Broadway, he's not got a leg to stand on.

assumed Tooting Bec owing to the 1908 deviation played earlier. I'm about 80% sure I'm right, and if so, I thank you all very much
