_Great_ game, if you're interested in a fantasy game requiring much less
investment of time/money than Legends or similar games.  Good balance
of characters vs. armies.  Write me for more details.

If I ever decide I can't afford the time for Legends (very possible),
I'll go back to this.

Seemed like a good game (not as complicated as Legends, but more so than
AK) but, as of about 4 years ago, Pegasus Productions had _really_ bad
service.  Not a bad game, but I wouldn't play without hearing a
recommendation from someone who had played for at least a year, fairly
recently.  Also, I guess RSI (?) also runs it; they might be better.

Hope this helps,
