Legion is out for PC...Anyone try it yet?

I picked it up last weekend on the recommendation of my brother who also has it. I like it because it is more military oriented than Caesar II or III, both of which were ancient sim city games with a little tactical and operational combat thrown in. Legion gives you the chance to campaign for the conquest of either Britain, Gaul or Italy. It has a variety of enemies to go up against (no Parthians or Germans in this version though). It has historical scenarios and non-historical scenarios. As i said it is more military oriented. You don't spend a lot of time on cities (though they are necessary to recruit armies), don't get me wrong it's all about who has the most cities, but the game is battle oriented. Your troops become more effective with experience and battle hardened veteran cohorts with half a dozen battles under their belts are nearly invincible. It is easier to play, in my opinion, than the Great Battles in History (Caesar, Alexander, Hannibal) series.<br>

I usually wait for computer games to go down in price also but went ahead and got this one near its release date. I highly recommend it. Hopefully a future version will have Parthians, Germans and 4th century foes. <p></p><i></i>
