The rules for both the full, complex, long version and the easier abbreviated version can be found on the web. Do a search on Google. It is available in English, French, German and Spanish.

Sorry!! Refreshed once to often.<BR><BR>In that case, assuming we're at Turnham Green, I'm going to hit the city, using rule 221a. I'm going to Oxford Circus!

I'm claiming a Montague forfeit to jump in at this point (couldn't resist it's too tempting):<BR><BR>Clapham South<BR><BR>(Are you going to clapham? I don't know are they any good? boom boom).<BR><BR>It's a shame you can't used the disused stations, as this situation was crying out for Ongar. <BR><BR>
