So when is your game coming out? I am one of those who thought gaming might be a good way to learn more about history - I'm currently shopping around for armies so I can set up Gallic War battles. I love computer sims type games and would love a good one with better battles that Caesar III or AOE.<br>
As for the History Channel, we don't get it, but there's a couple of military shows on our free-to-air channels at the moment, one called something like 'Teutons, Goths and Vandals' and another 'Great Commanders of History' which this week is about Julius Caesar. Last week we had a facinating show about Varus' lost legions. It seemed mostly pretty accurate (not sure about the costume). Can you really dismiss them all? Admitedly I am a critical viewer and never take anything too literally, but I'd like to think that when you have a Cambridge scholar speaking to camera, what he says has some value!<br>
