Pregame Conference (Amended)

"Gentlemen, thank you for your presence. I've been asked as a Neutral Observer to confirm that you are both aware of the result of the Joint Committee's Review of the 2019 rules for The Great Game and have been given a copy to review?" "Yes? and Yes?" "Good! 

"Shall we have a picture of this conference for the record?"

Hopefully, you have both had a chance to review the changes, understand them, and agree to play according to these rules. Are there any questions?....Yes, Colonel?" "Yes, this is just an amendment of the rules used at the affair at the train junction at Missisjones Junction back in '19."  "Colonel, Weren't  you were in charge of that fias-oha-hmm-hrrum... well, never mind that."

Link to 2019 Battle of Missisjones Junction

 "Yes? General Oom Bob?"  

"Hmm well, you are right General, the Oerberg government have no responsibility for or authority over these Kapelle villagers whose allies you are, and cannot make promises on their behalf. I did approach their Village Elder but he says his people are farmers not soldiers and know nothing of rules. Brigands is more like it but we won't hold their behaviour against you, though if I might say it, you might choose your allies more carefully".

"No other comments? Well Gentlemen, you may begin your battle. For the public record, I'll attach this agreement to the draft of the rules which have been agreed upon. " 

"uhh One minute please Gentlemen!" ....... "Hmm, yes, I see, thank you Captain" Gentlemen, apparently the draft has been rejected by the joint committee. Best stand down your men and we will reconvene in the morning."
