A great turn-based strategy game
The Good
This is a great game. I played this a lot. It was one of the first games I ever bought. It is a very varied turn-based strategy game with lots of complexity.
The Bad
The only possible down-side is there was one scenario in which I didn't manage to win as one of the sides on the hardest difficulty level.
The Bottom Line
This is a turn-based strategy game, played on a hex-map. Each unit has speed, health, attack, defence and morale. Some have ranged attacks, some magic points to spend on improve attack, defence, health and morale. (IIRC) If you lose a lot, you units will flee, but you can try to rally them each turn.
It has lots of different maps with different terrain layout and unit set-ups. You can play as either side on each scenario, with a selection of difficulty levels.
