I liked MOO, but by the time MooII and MooIII came out, I was into VGA Planets and liked that way better.

Tried Napoleonic miniatures.

I watched a game using the old Empire rules. It looked fun, but the painting sounded tedious.

OTOH, I really got into WRG 7th ancient miniatures. Have a partially painted Early Achaemenid Persian army that I have to convert to DBA/M rules now.... [:(]


I've always been interested in Ancients. There's a game series that was pretty interesting. Can't remember it right now. (Guess that brain cell shrivelled up.) Geez, I bought it, but haven't even punched the counters on it. That was a few years ago though.

Well, that certainly goes a long way toward explaining your WiTP "strategy" [;)]

MOO was the best computer game ever, hands down, no contest, I'll smack the spineless, pathetic sack of slugs that disagrees. [:@]

Too bad MOO II and MOO III sucked bad and sucked worse, respectively.

MOO was a great game, but MOO II was much better. Forget about MOO III...

I have an old game called Chariots that I believe was SPI. Also have


Alexander the Great!

from AH. After playing Gaugamela using the ancients rules, however, the board game lacks something. [:'(]

The good side to preservatives: stomach cancer rates have plummeted in the last 50 years or so, and no one really knows why, however, the working theory it is due to preservatives in food.

Also, undertakers have noticed that the Dead don't go bad so quickly... (true facts!)[:D]

Unlikely to find one for XP, but there's always DOSBox...

If you like ancients, www.dbaol.com. I play that alot. DBA rules, quick games and the regulars are great guys. It costs money, but I have just about as much fun there as I do kicking Allied arse in WiTP.
