Status: offline 		The folks over at GoG have released The Greatest Battles Collector's Edition. I still have the Great Battles of Caesar cd, but could never get it to work with Win XP. I always enjoyed these games, so it's good to see them released again.

I've always liked this series, both boardgames and conversion and such close boardgame conversions are rare. It's a nice rule-set that's easy to learn but is still 'historical'. The games still look pretty good as well IMHO. Thoroughly recommended.

Status: offline 		Please correct me if I am wrong, as I am tempted to purchase, but when originally released I seem to recall many players complained the PC AI cheated. Is that correct?
