As this aligns quite nicely with my own view of British politics, I have just spent an enjoyable quarter of an hour or so laughing at many of your earlier posts similarly labelled :)rrosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07316317334203888350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6605687469909340931.post-20075372023000374202022-01-14T23:39:09.768+00:002022-01-14T23:39:09.768+00:00Well done the French!

This sort of thing happens quite often in games and even occasionally in real battles - there is a line in the Waterloo film where Rod Steiger says something like "At four o'clock, I had lost the battle....but at six o'clock, I had won it back again!" (I cant even remember the battle - I think it was an early one, in Italy.....). As you rightly say, unless you want to keep on going to the bitter end, there has to be a way to say "This side is the winner" within a reasonable time frame, and I think most of us want to have a game that lasts three to five hours and concludes with one side winning and the other losing.rrosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07316317334203888350noreply@blogger.com
