Dollis Hill - Game 1

Post by tubeguru »

OK, folks. Time to play a round or two of Dollis Hill.

The rules are very simple as you know.

EACH MOVE MUST BE EXPLAINED IN FULL DUE TO THE COMPLEXITY OF THE MOVEMENT AROUND THE BOARD.

OK, I'll start us off at a neutral station no one's heard of before:

I'll do a super-duper-quadruple Northern line shuffle, taking out all four branches (plus Mill Hill East) in one go, via Edgware, Morden, Mill Hill East (obviously), and thanks to Mars being in line with Jupiter, and this being the unique time of day where cos0=1, and the time (21:11) at the moment being the same as the date(21/11), I shall end up at:

You do realise that the Classic version of DH we are playing here does not actually specify that the game ends upon attaining Dollis Hill?

No one is sure exactly what should happen but I'm sure one of us knows.

Fixed.

Just don't destabilise the balance too much with that kind of thing now.

By the way, I managed to dig out my old, now defunct, Dollis Hill Line map from several years ago.

It may help us:
