"Things alter for the worse spontaneously if they be not altered for the better designedly"
- Francis Bacon
And worse they got. No doubt James will give his usual card by card commentary, but in brief last night wasn't so good for the Romans. The only time it looked positive was when my strong left wing managed to get an attack going, an attack which culminated in the playing of a Clash of Shields card. Sadly it was trumped by a First Strike immediately followed by a very successful Rally. Oh, and once again I rolled double helmets and lost a general.

Jean-Paul Sartre observed that a lost battle is a battle one thinks one has lost. Who am I to argue with him? [ Perhaps long time readers will at least welcome the return of the rhetorical question, slipping in only a few weeks after the return of broadband allowed the return of the blog itself]
I do not share your talent in google-fu but perhaps it is time to throw your opponent off his stance. Is there not a quotation that to paraphrase " A warrior is judged by not what he does when things are going well but when they are not", or some such. Now is the time to step out of the box, and throw him off his game. Do something strategically daring or unpredictable. Let him know he is dealing with Mr. Graham H.; evil genius! Good luck in your machinations......
