	I'd had the impression the game met with indifference or disdain 
in these parts, since it is such a complicated game, and the manual is so 
horrible it makes the ``Hearts of Iron'' manual look good, and makes the 
``Europa Universalis'' introductory material look honestly friendly.  The 
gibberish they have explaining the critical World Market, for example, is 
good reason to suspect the game designers hate the game players ... but I 
do want to do my best to speak up for it.
