Wotcha!

Thought I'd get in a mention of may current favourite game & see if any of you have played it.



and a view of the map



It's got it all, war, conquest, player elimination, vast quantities of plastic bits (800-odd), dice for combat and map-building & exploration. The rules are tight & clear and you can get through a game on a large map in an evening.

All home produced & shipped by a great guy Peter Morrison.

This is coming across as a bit of an advert - didn't mean too. Anyway my gaming group can't get enough if it,

Yes, it's an excellent game. Anyone considering it should definitely go for the six player set, you won't regret it.

Bad news I'm afraid the 6-player has been discontinued...... you can now buy the 8-player version instead!!

Even more people to slaughter & crush underfoot

Curses! Now I'll have to find out how to upgrade!

Xerxes, come on man...do us a full review. Submit as an article and you'll be famous. Name in lights, VIP treatment, the whole thing.

Adrian - when are you catching the train over to Swindon for Tuesday night at our minis/AT club

Tom - Maybe when the travel-time:gaming-time ratio improves!

I've emailed Peter at Morrison Games to enquire about upgrading and included the link to here so maybe he'll join and comment. A review would be great, the game's certainly AT.
The Purple colour has been dropped so there're three new colours - I'll have a nine player set!!

Note to uba: Something's changed, the right-hand part of the page is cut off (I have a "Sub" button) and there are no scroll bars. It does scroll as I type however, but that doesn't help for seeing the preview. While typing this, if I increase the window size, I cannot now display anything to the left of the text box. If I highlight some text here it does scroll fully left and right, if I don't highlight any it doesn't scroll.

The above post is now wider than my screen so I cannot read it all.

It's that new image added to the first post - totally fucked up
the page for this thread.

Well, I'm trying to order the game but the shopping cart doesn't work
and Peter hasn't responded to my email...anybody know anything?

I mean, he's

so excited he can hardly contain himself

...so he needs to be selling
me the game!

Sorry my image in the original post buggered the page I didn't realise it was so big.

I know 3 people who've bought from him in the last year (not much I know but stick at it).

I'm in the process of scribbling a review which I hope to submit to the exalted admins
(bit of groveling never hurts right?) over the weekend.

Cheers

We'll get you in Xerxes...but we need to get a hold of Peter so people can buy the game!

This game is very high on my list of things to get.
I think it will fill in the simple, but much better than Risk, category will.

Did any more F:ATties order/play this yet? It looks good, but I need more non-BGG feedback before I take the plunge.

I got in touch with Peter, if anyone else needs to order one PM me and I'll give you an alternate email address to reach him, his shopping cart still doesn't work...I should have one this week and I'll let you know how it plays.
