Well, I lost the auction - I was outbid in the final thirty seconds. So...I'm going to keep a lookout for other auctions for it, but the last one before this was November 21st, so I'm not expecting anything. If you wouldn't mind putting Plan C into action, that'd be great...And meanwhile, what other (fun) 'beginner' strategy games would you recommend? The space theme like in Outreach isn't necessary, but I do like it...Any suggestions you might have would be much appreciated.
