"Come on lads, I want it back on the road by tea time."

@Vacilllator Given that we are playing for the Stratton House Challenge Cup the Oranje-Nassau Court variant of Mornington Crescent is in operation.

"Green Park"

Indeed I have it seems, it's often the way for me with parties.  It's a Puma, thought I was good to go without saying it.  Where can I find the full Mornington Crescent ruleset?

Two points for the Puma in a Norman street. And I think that given the fact that you are the first to actually ask about Mornington Crescent you might deserve bonus points. "And what do points mean?" "Points mean prizes". As someone with far more talent than myself and his mates often said.

[Wild animals in the street.]

@Vacilllator You've left it a tad late but you're welcome. Obviously "It's" is not the name of a wild animal. So you might want to try again.

No.6. A Dingo in Nijmegen.   

[Wild animals in the street.]

The full committee will convene this evening to debate the various disputes, and I would hate to prejudge their findings, especially given the complexity of the Mornington Crescent rules that the competition is using. My own inclinations are as follows...

Greyhound acceptable given as how wild they can get if you try to take away their bone.

M10 in Dreux unacceptable as there is some dispute as to when the nickname Wolverine was coined, and in CMBN is is only used for the M10 used by the Limeys, Canucks and Poles.

Berlin Zoo Tower unacceptable as it falls outside of the playing area.

First, I knew this competition is rigged. Second, you called my beautiful *khmm* StuFlak Stinkpot, but it could have a name of some wild animal and third, Greyhound is not wild animal,it's domestic dog.

I knew it .....

 

M10 Wolverine, Dreux, August 1944

Rigged? How dare you Sir.

"Stinkpot" is a very old reference to Little Jimmy Osmond and a BBC disc jockey, which I won't bore you with.

Two points for the Wolverine photo. Well done.

Zebra crossing street in France

Two Americans using unusually low tech transport, France, July 8th 1944. Privates William Jackson and Joseph King of the 1st Infantry Division take advantage of Donkey transport on the Caen to Caumont-Evente road on July the 8th 1944.

Hahaha. Sadly no point for the top one. Despite it's comedy value. But two points for the other one.

No. 5 Firefly in Escoville.   

[Wild animals in the street.]

I apologise for my misspelling of Marten as "Martin", which is of course a boy's name and not the animal. You therefore get the full two points. well done.

I get obsessive about min max details, so huge game throw me. Are Final Blitzkrieg battles smaller and more focused? I have experience with wargames, but have yet to play Battlefront. 

"smaller and more focused" than what? They vary from platoon size up to regiment. I would suggest that you either check out some CMFB videos on yt. Or, you download the demo to give yourself a feel for the game.

[Wild animals in the street.]

Picture 1. = 2 Points

Picture 2. = 2 Points

Picture 3. = 0 Points (Marder translates into English as "Martin" therefore scores Minus 1. Street, 1)

Picture 4 = 2 Points

But ... but .. it's in the street ... that's 1 point

Hahaha. Nope sorry, rules are rules. Under normal circumstances it would be Minus 1 for the Stuart, and Minus 1 for straying outside of the registered playing area. But seeing as how you are a nice bloke the committee will let you off of any penalty.

It's M3A3 Stuart with 20mm Flak 38 Flakvierling on the street of Trieste (Italy) owned by Yugoslavian army year 1945.  ... It looks more like Yugoslavian (modification) business...

https://tanks-encyclopedia.com/light-tank-m3a3-20mm-flak-38-flakvierling/

 

A nice picture. But, sadly a Stinkpot doesn't count as "wildlife", and according to the Mornington Crescent rules which this particular cup competition is being played under Trieste falls outside of the geographical scope.  

[Wild animals in the street.]

What is this and where please mate.

[Wild animals in the street.]

@Wicky Nice try mate. But the marking system has be rigorously tested by the Cup committee and your appeal has been turned down, with regret.

Also, Wicky scored 0 points for his most recent entry. (Wildlife 1, beach Minus 1) And therefore remains on 0 points. But, the committee have asked me to pass on their thanks to him for yet another gallant attempt, and wish him better luck next time.
