    Solace ReviewPleasant Fun - Version: 1.045, 3/26/2008 03:38PM PST

    Never quite get the odds of winning with any combination of pieces but still get lost in an afternoon of ceaseless battles.

    Some bugs still. It can freeze up in mid move sometimes and quite frequently it will crash if you minimise it whilst it is making a move. To avoid this it would be nice if you could switch back to the Desktop normally.

    Wishlist: faster moves and more maps. I think I have pretty much exhausted this map.

    Solace ReviewRocks in PBEM - Version: 1.045, 3/6/2004 09:54AM PST

    A deceptively simple game -- you learn it in no time (esp if you're familiar with Axis & Allies) but the possibilities are endless. Our group is on team game #6 (I think?) with a different outcome every time, and now we're also playing a free-for-all game full of misdirection, shifiting alliances and intrigue. I'd never managed to get into a PBEM before, but this one has me hooked.

    This game is great fun. However, once you bore of the AI the game really comes into it's own when you play via email. I have been playing two games with 6 people from different countries for 6 months now and each day I still look forward to my move.

    The fun is sending email to your team members to put together some killer strategy.

    Download this game you will love it.
