I'm playing in FR Game 27, and I am enjoying it. It is a decent game. My
only gripe
is that it is more expensive than the other games I've played. If you are
a fan of
TSR's Forgotten Realms world, you'll recognize a bunch of locales, races
and items.

My recommendation is to break up your units on the first turn and explore
like crazy.
The sooner you know what's around you, the better you'll do. Plus, you can
pick up
uncommitted communities just by walking through them--not many, of course, but
there are some scattered around (I got a town that way on my first turn).

Remember, this is my first game, and there may be better strategies out
there I haven't
glommed onto yet. Keep in touch, and maybe we can share info and strategies.
