Well, you've had a year to play it now. Any good?

I lied.

Or I got all of my P500s mixed up -- (I mean, how does that happen).

I have Nevsky and really enjoy it. I've just started two games of Nevsky with some local buddies, but we are playing on Rally the Troops.

I also have Inferno (which is what I was thinking about when I thought I had Almoravid en route). In ways, Inferno is a degree easier than Nevsky, only because the infrastructure is better (and simpler) in Italy, and the winters much less harsh.

I really enjoy the system but do not like the way the rules are written -- they seem to complicate what should are simple actions.

While Almoravid does look interesting, with so many more L&C games in the pipeline, I don't think I'll be obligated to buy them all.
