Hello Oakville. Hope you are well too. The new rules are here. You may be covered by the exception rule, as you have used a consistent name and your thread looks unlikely to initiate a Mudcat punch up!

However, although we often disagree, I take Teribus's view on this one. I think James Lonsdale Bryans was a deluded eccentric, who merits barely a footnote in the history books. Everything else I know about the war leads me to believe that once it had broken out, Britain had an implacable resolve to pursue it until the bitter end. One may debate whether that was a good policy. However, I do not doubt whether that was the case.
