Got the game three days ago - it is good... BUT:
do not try to play under (the Evil) Win95 - unless you have 32 meg of
RAM :-(
Runs quite well under DOS 6.22 and is quite amusing, as with PG there
is usually only one way to win a given scenario, but the campaign system
is good - not a patch on a large game of FT though..
