Still, it felt like the end of the first act rather than the end of the battle.

Whereas the Post office told me twice that my parcel was arriving between 10:29 and 14:29 and shockingly it arrived at 8:10.

I'm looking forward to getting a copy.

We had a good number of people saying "I'm looking forward to these rules..." so it was good to be able to give a very positive reply.

A notable feature of both games was that - as per history - Aki the Tall was cut down by Eystien Snorri. And unlike history, Harald Hardrada met his end on both occasions.

We had a couple of games at Carronade today - 28mm Battle of Fulford. @michaelharker.bsky.social may be along later with pictures. A very subtle set of rules, with clever interactions. Wish I could be at Partisan to see how it should be played!

Poor style (Generals regularly described as 'paladins', emperors 'galloping' across their empires) and factual errors (Parthians with crossbows?) don't help. But mostly I felt I wasn't getting any insights into the world.

Property? Lots of non-resident, non-British buying up London, I wouldn't be happy with them getting a vote on that basis.
Actually, I do get the links idea, I just don't think it's straight forward. My initial thoughts were a result of someone thinking it's a no-brainier. Its not.

The ongoing political debate on many subjects, that you can vote on. Hopefully your contribution will be more worthwhile than your "five word explanation".
For what it's worth I saw nothing about the new law before today: if someone else brings it up, hardly surprising that I comment on it.

The political debate in the UK.
I don't care how people who haven't lived in the UK for 15 years or more are likely to vote, I care that a potentially large number of people with no real stake in the country might decide the nature of the government without facing the results of that vote.

So long as you pay UK tax on that.

Thankyou for your considered opinion. That's the kind of debate we need!

Yes, but what's your stake In the country? Do you pay taxes in the UK? Do you intend to return?
I'm genuinely interested, as frankly, I'd rather have people who live in the UK voting for the government (and yes, that includes non-UK citizens resident in the UK).

I'm going to ask, if you haven't lived in the country for 15 years, what's your stake in voting for the government of a place you probably won't come back to, and you're almost certainly not paying taxes in? No representation without taxation (if you earn enough).
