- I had a plan and unusually it worked out, just... HC you did well getting my 2 men up top and you were catching up. My last man had no weapons so was on the scavenge. What happened to Agent Orange?

- I'd lost track of the turns tbh, you got a load of eggs quite early on, then disrupted my mass transit operation. I had to drop them all and pull out the guns again. So it was a good plan eh? I'm not sure I saw Agent Orange, though I was scrapping with Xeno. Perhaps Xeno finished off A.Orange?
- And congratulations on the victory!
- Cheers! I wonder if Agent Orange conceded or was force cancelled? His units on the playback didn't move. I don't usually use incendiaries but at first the intention was to catch out players in the egg room but I got there first so I switched to blocking the other three doorways.

- I force cancelled as it went over 7 days. I don't think he's dropped in since so we would still be waiting now.
The game was really you vs HC as I was neutralised fairly early, my opp fire was atrocious. I had one man alive unable to stop you both, having to watch you guys carry away the eggs on the scanner. A bit !ike caveman rugby with medicine balls. Anyone play thag at school during gym? Posted by

- Fair enough about AO. He's usually good at taking turns. Thag is new to me. We just had a very short psychotic sadistic legendary Welshman called Philips inflicting various forms of nameless misery. He really hated us and being out in winter fresh air. Pity the kid who forgot his kit. Cross country in their underpants and I was at a mixed sex school.

- Thag sounds unpleasant, so glad I didn't have to do it. Rugby was bad enough when your physique is readily likened to that of a stick, always in the blimmin scrum. We had Mr Steward who can best be described as being an asshole, a typical exchange was "why haven't you got your coloured kit", "Sir I thought...", "that's just it, you didn't think did you". He also had a glass eye, so you could never be 100% sure who he was talking to if it was a ranged conversation. Then there was legendary Mr Marden who was whacked in the nose by Vincent Freeman who was foolishly practising his swing. Mr Marden barely made a sound, glared at Vince and calmly gave us instructions to split in to groups while he went off to wipe off the blood.
- I like your account HC, particularly the glass eye!

- I'm laughing so hard about thag. I can't stop. :D
There is no thag, it was a typo! ROFL
It should have been "Anyone play that at school" that being caveman rugby. But I will always remember it as "thag" now. Posted by

- I am laughing uncontrollably too! It does sound like a brutal PE game invented by an unhinged jadded sports teacher.

- Caveman Rugby was where a load of medicine balls were put in the middle of the gym and two teams had to compete to take them back to their side of the wall. They were seen as eggs and us as cavemen having to snatch them and take back to our caves that were represnted behind a bench on each side. It could get quite thuggish, or should that be thaggish. :D

- Hur hur! Thag is a good name for caveman rugby I think. Regarding Mr Marden I omitted mentioned that we was whacked in the face with a softball bat. The bat wasn't soft though.
- Oh and you could steal them from the other side's "cave" which was always fun. I quite liked it but we played it when were like 12/13 so it wasn't too brutal actually. Had we been older I think it would have turned into a mass brawl.
Cross country yes, I think one of our teachers had a policy of no kit then run in your pants although not sure anyone did, I think the option was to go through lost property and grab anything. But it was the policy for gym in the early years having to wear pants. Not later though as I think we would have strongly refused. Not sure you could have enforced that with 15/16 year olds.
I was quite good at cross country but never liked it though. Bloody nightmare in the rain. Remember some of us took a "shortcut", possibly my idea come to think of it, which actually meant crossing a stream knee deep. Unfortunately from recent downpours it had become flooded so we had to cross what amounted to a narrow but raging river. We couldn't turn back now so the five of us I think it was, grabbed arms and waded through, almost up to our chests. Saved about 10 minutes maybe but had to run completely soaked. Crazy. Posted by

- Ooh ouch!
I played softball at school. That was an option under what was called 'minor games' in the 4th and 5th years (last two years unless you stayed on in 6th form which I didn't.) Football, squash, archery and softball. Far better than hockey and cricket. Even some of the hockey and cricket team tried to defect. Posted by

- And rugby of course in the Winter. Hockey was Spring and Cricket Summer. Compulsory up until the 4th year when you had a choice. Never liked the three above so minor games, especially with football, was a no brainer. Good crack that was.
