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. Don’t be shy. All are welcome to participate.
Unlike the formidable Friday foxers, the Monday kind are designed with lone truth sleuths in mind. While Roman, my Chief Foxer Setter, would be very interested to know how long it takes you to defox the following brainteaser, he requests that the comments section isn’t used to share solutions or drop hints.
How time flies. Tally-Ho Corner turns one tomorrow, which means I’ll be wrapping it in the skin of a freshly slain hare and passing it through the eye of Æthelwulf’s Needle – a local menhir. According to legend, any website that doesn’t undergo this ritual on its birthday is sure to end up selling its soul for a mess of pottage or a potty message in the following year. As the days leading up to a ‘threading’ are meant to be spent either in silent meditation or off your tits on sloe gin (naturally, I opted for the hedgerow hooch)…

A is for Alphabetised wargame, sim, and site news. Once a month, assuming I can persuade Austerity’s Blackburn Cirrus Bombardier engine to perform the miracle of internal combustion, I spend a day or two 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.

It looks like I need to add another entry to the THC Wargames Top 50. While lumping together the Ultimate Generals (Gettysburg and Civil War) for voting purposes doesn’t offend my sense of taxonomic propriety unduly, putting Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnoughts under the same umbrella feels like a flying bridge too far. Just about all UAD has in common with its landlubbing predecessors is good looks, decent AI, and an intuitive UI. In terms of theme, features, and approach, its natural hammockfellow is the series currently ranked at #10, Rule the Waves.
