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.

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.

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