Ladies and gentlemen, having dished out the statuettes for Most Superfluous Subtitle, Least Essential DLC, Tiniest GUI Font, Most Disappointing Delay, Most Amusing Bug, Best Physics, Stealthiest History Teacher etc. it’s finally time for me to reveal the winner of this evening’s premier award. Tally-Ho Corner’s Game of the Year for 2023 is…
Every Friday at 1300 hours, Tally-Ho Corner’s cleverest clogs come together to solve a ‘foxer’ handcrafted by my sadistic chum and colleague, Roman. A complete ‘defoxing’ sometimes takes several days and usually involves the little grey cells of many readers.
Using the following clues (the map above is purely decorative) in combination with Street View and tools such as MAPfrappe, work out my location.
In your face, gypsy soothsayer! The tea-leaf reader Roman and I consulted at this summer’s Appleby Horse Fair said Tally-Ho Corner wouldn’t see its third birthday. There was mention of a white stag with bloody hooves, a “troubled troubadour”, and an accident involving a Husqvarna K970 disc cutter, all of which turned out to be complete bobbins. True, Madame Carla did correctly predict that I’d end-up spending a portion of Old Hallowmass Eve “inside a dragon skull”, but that could easily have been a lucky guess.
A is for Alphabetised wargame, sim, and site news. Every so often, assuming I can persuade Austerity’s Blackburn Cirrus Bombardier engine to perform the miracle of internal combustion, I spend a few days scouring Simulatia and Grognardia for stories with the potential to fascinate, startle, cheer, dismay or amuse. Those stories are then dehydrated, alphabetised and delivered, via articles like this one, to people who’ve got better things to do than plough through puff and platitudes.

“Good morning, Cornerites. On behalf of Tally-Ho Corner Tours I’d like to welcome you aboard this chilly (Get the heater on, Roman!) bus-based Train Sim World diesel multiple unit. Very shortly, assuming ‘nodding donkey’ number 142033 plays beach ball, we will be making our way to Blackpool via the more southerly/interesting of the resort’s two rail links. Under your seat you’ll find a map of our route, plus a goody bag containing a gluten-free butter pie, a Kiss Me Quick hat, and a Geiger counter.”
