Nevermind, it's in a forum where it isn't the first name in the bunch.

Best wishes,

It would need to be considering that the game is both rather long in the tooth and that (very) cheap box copies are still easily obtainable, at least in the UK.

Odd choice, really. I would have thought Legion Arena/Cult of Mithras would have done a lot better. Maybe Matrix will publish those next?

Status: offline 		Yes, it may be "long in tooth" but I have never seen it before so it's as "fresh as a daisy" to me.

I am not a huge fan of this sort of game. I don't really think of them as wargames but as empire building games. I was attracted to it by the price and by the fact that I have more than a passing interest in the military history of the earliest empires. I don't think its going to teach me much about Sargon of Akkad or the Third Dynasty of Ur but it looks like an interesting diversion nevertheless.

Best wishes,

Best wishes,
