The game covers only the third Phoenician-Greek winter war on Jupiter's moon, Europa. I didn't think there would be much interest in the others.

Wait... I thought you were planning to cover the other theater of war which deals with the thin icy crust of Crete campaign. With one army lead by Zeus and and the other by Galileo, it's just crying out to have a game made based upon it.

OMG!

Its Frank Hunter. Where have you been? I really liked GoA, so maybe this game will do really well, and you can update or make another version of GoA.

Because "Europa" is German for Europe but them one wonders, if using German for Europe, why Festung wasn't used. Probably because of copyright infringement with Jackboot Games.

I used to have the game Fortress Europa from Avalon Hill which I thought was a nice title and is pretty much why I went with Europa instead of Europe and then when I asked Erik which names he liked, Assailing Fortress Europa, Assaulting Fortress Europa, Piercing... he liked Piercing.
