The later versions look far better - the four player version especially - and to be honest it s a fun game to play in an abstract kind of way. I am sure that it could be made more historical with a little effort.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-27080465647883994652022-02-22T17:42:42.705+00:002022-02-22T17:42:42.705+00:00That looks like a fun game, and the pieces look ta...That looks like a fun game, and the pieces look tailor made for 3x3 games.

There is an expanded version that not only features four players but also includes siege weapons. Another variant allowed for playing pieces to move ‘off the points’ and into the surrounding area.<br /><br />The map has a lot of potential for a mini campaign of some kind. Having spent some time having a good look over it I am tempted to see about sourcing another (and better) copy at some point.<br /><br />Sadly the designer was killed in a road accident and so the concept ended as I do not believe it has been taken up and developed further.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-39858207555722759822022-02-22T08:18:11.080+00:002022-02-22T08:18:11.080+00:00I don't remember ever seeing this game before ...I don't remember ever seeing this game before - very interesting, thanks for sharing this.Maudlin Jack Tarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02812453753286494021noreply@blogger.com
