Well, there was "Artillery Duel" by Xonox. :-) I believe another Stellalist member was working on "Incoming", another variation on the game, but I haven't seen anything recently about his progress. >> Major Problem of this is certainly displaying six detailed objects >> (2* catapult/gunner/castle) in one horizontal row.
