Ok now, this looks interesting...

When you say a board game, do you mean literally a table top board game with pieces and everything? Or is this a computer game that operates like a board game, like risk or something like that? It feels like a stupid question, but I read the game info and it's not clear to me.

No i's a board game, check out the screenies.

Yeah, I looked at the screen shots. Still couldn't tell.

This is quite a departure for Shrapnel. Will you be releasing a computer board game Version in the future?

Who knows, we will be putting CD's of our computer game demos in the boxes though.

We all played games like these before computers came along, and Mark's system looked like a good fit to get into the market. I think we can get a lot of crossover for both.

You know, Geoschmo, I have to agree with you. It IS hard to tell from the screenshots! Rich and Ron are terrific artists. Frankly, I've never seen a better looking boardgame. But then again, I'm prejudice. ;-)

Best,
Mark

Well I'm looking forward to this game. I like the game scale and the topic. The graphics are excellent. However, before I spend any money I'd like to see the promised demo. I want to get a feel for the rules to see just how good they are. Also, a few questions. Will the game have a mounted game board or an unmounted map? Also, how many board/maps are included and are they geomorphic (is that the right word?).
