Wargames Vault has it available for cheap download. It is kind of like a mirror image of the Eurasian landmass, with western European type states to the east and in the centre and sultanate style nations to the west. There are Viking types to the north. Various fantasy races are present too, and it would be possible either to come up with game stats for those, or just equate them to historical troops. For example, Elves might be 100 Years' War English, Orcs could be Goths, and so on. If I go down this route I will probably chronicle it by setting up another blog to keep it separate from my strictly historical stuff...Calibanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13137774792085672600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482407251610013637.post-60610455879707766062016-07-04T16:38:33.088+01:002016-07-04T16:38:33.088+01:00The Bath-like Greyhawk game sounds interesting.
