And Winco’d be like: you sarky git Landings, you so snarky, and i’d Be like, yeah, I am, please can I play in your game though.


However, I a somewhat the worse for wear
I'll tell you the ending to the game anyway: you play 30 Corps charging up the road to Arnhem in 20 turns using playing cards and elements of Bridge rules (game title is "A Bridge too far").
Just as you look like you are going to make it we announce Operation Berlin on turn 18. The Paras are pulling back across the Rhine.
Oh the look on their sad little faces as it dawns on them that the game is fixde to give a historical result. Priceless.
