The sub-routines and intricacies will no doubt interest you. With the space to play the campaign game, you would see your monies worth from Ligny.Normhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05031444717952755557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5368677310334370714.post-38012316315730362182018-02-15T06:33:28.530+00:002018-02-15T06:33:28.530+00:00That explains the graphics deja vu!

If so, I should it to my Wish List too.

Because this is not a review site, I only generally write about things that I have wanted to put on the table and so even against that back ground of me seldom being critical, this game shines for me. I am sure there will e more written about this system here.
