Seasons by Decree. Bertie had to wait another 40 years before he became King. But as heir apparent, he set the style of English society for nearly half a century, determining who should be included and who excluded and where one should go when.

...fight back, but was completely outmanned. Attackmen and midfielders harrassed the Indians so badly they hardly ever cleared a ball cleanly.
