Opinion I have played the Legends Game System previously and was unimpressed as the game had a few critical errors that really wrecked the game... but the code changes in Legends II have inspired me to play again. The game has the most complexity of any PBM game I have ever played and the cost has roughly halved now that is available on the net. Double Thumbs up!! -- Patrick Shaw <pshaw@netwise.net.au> (30Oct96) (Nearly) all bugs are fixed now, and a lot of new features implemented. Still -after all that years- one of most the complex and fascinating pdm-games I know. Strongly recommended for those who want more than only some soldiers and productioncenters (called towns) to play around with. They've got flying warmounts, shipping on rivers, adventures for heroes and much more now ! -- Stefan Weniger <stefan.weniger@cityweb.de> (28Sep98) Company: Harlequin Games Office B 340 North Road Cardiff CF14 3BP UK SSV Graz Postfach 1205 8021 GRAZ Austria AUS-(0)316-719327
