@MeinHerr:
That move (I named Mahatma Gambit)… where the UK DD or BB is places with the Japanese Navy, (in peace - hence the � Mahatma�) and Anzac declares … screwing up the Japanese Transport Combat … was played on the Day-after-Thanksgiving game on Frin Nov 28th,2014 in Seattle, WA. There were 7 people who played that day.
Details are here:

Some of those players are members and contributors here.
No mention of such a move was ever mentioned in this Forum before then, and before you know it… there were people trying to �rename� it…
Just for the record.
Hey MeinHerr! :lol:
I fully admit that I didn’t invent it. I think I came across it when it was used against me awhile back in the league.
The “Sneaky Karl” thing stemmed from me using it against Gargantua in a FtoF in Vancouver BC. Garg refused to believe it and emailed Larry Harris himself. Larry responded and called the move “bull*hit” if I recall, but Krieg confirmed its legality.
Then Garg used it in Grasshopper’s tourney and called it the Sneaky Karl. General Handgrenade saw this and then made a video about the move, calling it thus.
I don’t really care what it’s called. Mahatma Gambit is pretty good too. Or how about “The Anzac Steamer”… LOL.
Not sure anyone can claim a “right” to name a move that is contemplated by the rules. Frankly, I think it’s pretty gamey and should be changed so that Anzac DOW doesn’t bring in UK.
