The
morning gales and high tide congregated hundreds of omnipresent Black-headed
Gulls on the shingle, a common event. However, I noticed that scores
of these gulls had very dark red legs, as dark as the Mediterranean Gull.
Heads varied from all brown (looks black in the winter light) to patchy
and all white.

the brackish Widewater Lagoon, Mute Swans

Shoreham
Town centre is notable for the absence of both Pigeons (except for
the occasional Collared Dove) and neither does it have the numbers of Herring
Gulls of the neighbouring towns. However, for the first time for decades
at least a dozen Herring Gulls have begun to perch of the tops of the houses
near St. Mary's Church and even a Town Pigeon or two have hidden in the
evergreen trees. Can some newcomers to the town be feeding them?

Mother Of All Battles is a game for 1 to 6 human or computer players. The object of the game is to destroy all the opposition's pieces by exploring new territory and capturing as many neutral and enemy cities as you can in order to build more of your own pieces.
At first the game can be a bit daunting, but it soon becomes easier, and then slightly disappointing playing against the computer. The random generated maps are one of the let downs. In this day and age they could look more like maps. However, they are clear and make the game very playable.
It
is turn based strategy game. Each Commander of his Forces takes
turns in deploying his forces which consist of:
Hints:
It seems important to deploy your troops to capture as many cities as possible
early on in the game. Paratroopers seem to be useful at these early stages.
