What I would have given just to be there and see the game!

'Tis funny that really, how just watching a game can almost be as pleasurable as taking part at time :)

One of your earlier battles made me get the rules - you're a superb advert for them
I hope you keep posting such great reports as that may help me overcome the inertia of the next step and give the rules a try lol

Lovely game and the sort of situation that maximises the effect of a draw stack for random activation as given in NMtBH.

‘I have saved the bird in my bosom’ would make a good scenario title!
