I recently took over a position previously played by a UK GM (most of the
UK players will now who from the info I give). He was upfront about the
fact he was playing and indeed said which nation he was playing. Fact: he
was targetted from turn one (maybe turn two) and before he gave up was down
to one charcter (yes, 1 character). I opted to take this position having
been, I hope the only idiot to have played a position with two viable
characers before. The GM's take flack but they play by the rules and
deserve the upmost respect. To take a UK quote "they play with a striaight
bat" i.ei. wholely within the rules.
