Ah, I see I just missed the endgame - I was going to point out that Nativity Wheedle rules only apply until Twelfth Night (obviously!) and then jump back in in a couple of days’ time. Well played, **Wargamer** - where does that put you in the international rankings? I look forward to another battle later in the year. ---

I’m not currently ranked, as I find the travel to be excessively taxing, and to do it right, I’d have to compete in 4-6 tourneys a year on at least three continents. I will however, be at the World Boardgaming Championships this August if anyone cares to get a late night Open Gaming Round going. ---

I missed the endgame entirely! Thank you all for giving me a brilliant first game. ---

Ha HA!! You all thought I’d forgotten about this game, but here I am to use my reserved secondary Nativity Wheedle, which puts me squarely at **Mornington Cresc…** Oh, blast. ---
