It did get increasingly messy towards the end due to attrition and desperation in some circles but thoe of us from the old-guard who were left did what we could towards the end.
I was a bit dissapointed as to how it all ended TBH but all's fair in love and war (and politics) so can't really complain about MI winning by doing things Norland wouldn't even have contemplated for religious/moral/ethical/cultural reasons. At least Norland kept it's soul to the end.
