well it is just about a new year, anyone for a new game?
I've not got to grips with the Koom valley rules so if you don't mind I'd prefer to stick with the traditional rules.
As for double/single - unlimited/30 moves I don't mind.
I'll even let you go first.

How about single, unlimited?
I am a complete novice, having played perhaps five games to completion, all with disastrous results. But if that doesn't bother you (you're sure to win!) here's a move:
d L14 - K14
Not a problem for me, I've only every played on the forums, and you have to start somewhere...
T h9 j10
tell you what if you want to reconsider any moves let me know and we can replay the last couple of moves.
Would I be right in assuming that you would prefer to play the games one after another? do you have any preference in unlimited/limit?
d K15 - B7
Yes, I definitely can't keep track of two battles at once. I'm guessing that strategies may differ in 30-move games, so unlimited works better for me right now.
Single unlimited it is then.

d G1 - C5
T f7 - e6
d F1 - F5
Are you sure... That will not stop/distract the troll from attacking the left hand side...
If you want to replay let me know.
If you are happy with that my move would be...
T e6 - d5 X c4 X c5
Yeah, I realized that was a mistake after I sent it off. Thanks. How about this, then?
d B7 - B9
makes more sence in my head anyway
but my move will remain
T e6 - d5 X c4 X c5
honestly if you post a move and then realise you would rather do something else... I don't mind if you changing it...
I've done that many times myself... and still do it...
OK, we'll try this idea again...see if it works any better.
d L2 - G6
Yip, that will force me to do something else...
T g7 - f6 X g6
d O11 - O7
T e6 - c6 X b5 X c5 X b7
Drat. I have clearly messed up my Thudboard representation of this game, because I show only one dwarf captured by that move. There will be a brief pause while I replay the game on my Thudboard and get it right. Sorry. Still learning how to do this. But I'm having lots of fun!
OK, here's what I think happened. Here are the moves I have so far for this game:
1. d L14 - K14
T h9 j10
2. d K15 - B7
T g8 f7
3. d G1 - C5
T f7 - e6
4. d B7 - B9
T e6 - d5 X c4 X c5
5. d L2 - G6
T g7 - f6 X g6
6. d O11 - O7
And your last move is T e6 - c6 X b5 X c5 X b7.
But I think there are no dwarfs on c5 or b7. You already took the dwarf on c5 in move 4. And I sent the b7 dwarf somewhere else in move 4.
In fact, now that I look carefully, I don't believe you have a troll on e6. It moved to d5 in move 4.
It looks like you're missing move 4 on your board. Yes?
Do I have this right? If I do, and you don't want to make that move for only one capture, feel free to redo it.
Ah I see...
It is all my fault..
I took your move 5 as a replacement of move 4...
My play stands although it should be
T d5 - c6 X b5
sorry for the problem...
Are we back on track?
okey dokey - yes, back on track. I'll be more explicit in the future. Never played anything long-distance before. Lots of fun.
d N12 - N7
mmm what are you up to...
T j7 - k8
Not sure I know what I'm up to, myself.
d M13 - M8
If you don't mind me saying... I don't quite see the denifit of that move...
but anyway...
T k8 - l8 x m8
It's quite possible there is no benefit. But we'll find out!

Edit: Um.. I made a mistake on that. I meant
d o5 - D5
Is that ok?
thanks
Not a problem... I think..
T g6 - e4 X d5
Err... right. Just so. Well, I already took that back once, and I think that's enough. So we'll see if we can mitigate the damage...
d E2 - G2
T n7 - o6 X p6
Uh oh. Now you're giggling at me. Well, I did promise you would win!
d N4 - N9
na that is a nervous laugh...
I'm trying to work out how I can break up that party at the top...
T e4 - e5
I think it might be too late...
d A10 - G4
yea it look as though I might be costly...
T k7 - k6
d M3 - K3 You've been plenty coslty arleady
Costly to me... my best senario has me losing 3 troll to break that up...
Sorry I've left my board at home... will have to pick it up about 5:30.
That's no problem. You may have gathered from when I post that I'm across the pond. Lancre is really just a state of mind. My body located in a suburb south of Boston, Massachusetts. By the time you have to quit in the evening, it's only about 7 here. I try to check to see if you've posted before I go to bed so you have something to do in the morning, but I think I forgot last night. Big football game on TV. American football, not real football.
