Status: offline 		Thanks Iain. Fun game - better than what I was expecting.

I like how some of the scenarios are quite hard to win. Makes it an achievement to work your way through the campaigns. I suppose where I'm heading with that comment is I hope you don't dumb down the scenarios.

Anyways...good fun...good game.
