St. Louis, MO 63125GAnother game that is available is CASTLE SIEGE GThis game is a re-creation of the battles that took place during the GDark Ages. The Lords of the keep were masters of all they surveyed, Gbut often had to defend against rival neighbors for land and position. GThe game is a one or two player game of strategy and tactics. The Gdefender creates a castle using a menu system, and then purchases Gand places playing pieces - Swordsmen, Cavalry, Longbowmen, Boiling Goil to name a few. The attacker then chooses a force for himself - GLadder carriers, Catapults and Rams just to name a few. And then the Gsiege begins!!! GPlayers take turns firing, moving and meleeing. GThis game is a cross between chess and full blown strategy games. It Ghas rules that are easy to master, with a user friendly front end that Gkeeps you from making rule errors. GThe game can be played person against person, or person against GComputer or even Computer against Computer! GThe cost of CASTLE SIEGE - Enhanced Version is $15 (all orders must Ginclude $2 for shipping). To order, please send check or money order Gto:
