***Hmm, what's a GUI? Game User Interface?

As someone for mysterious reasons has called this thread
'Odessey vs. Legends', I can only add that Legends
has such an interface. At the moment a Dos program
called LTE (to process turns with, to import map data
from your allies, etc), and this summer a Windows
program called the LPE will be out which keeps
track of ALL info in the game in a terrific way. As
Legends is as complex as (your description of) Odessey,
that will be a terrific tool! It also will allow entering
orders at a mouse click, with on-line help, and importing
and exporting of map and game info of allies.

Hmm, I think I would nearly wanna bet that
Midnight Games will win some award *again* NEXT year, with this
great  LPE :). THIS year they got nominated on behalf of the expanded
Legends II Rules (published last summer) as the best New Play By Mail
game by GAMA (ORIGIN'S AWARD).  (They're voting  for the winner coming
month(s), so I do not know the outcome yet) .

kind regards,
Aayko
