Jambo, my local doesn't allow you to not surrender, as long as the player causing it has managed to get close enough without being hit...so yeah, he did cheat. Either way, its put me off returning to my local site as I've had nothing but hassles with non hit takers, mardy people having hissy fits and even a punch up when one player was adamant he had hit another, when in reality he'd hit the Marshall about 4 foot the other side of said player...
