Thanks again for all the responses.  I can see this really is a great community.  Thanks for making a newbie feel at home.  Looking forward to giving this a shot.

Thanks guys for the quick responses.  Looks like a fun game.  I’m looking for something more in depth than Risk without being crazy detailed and I think this might be it.  Much appreciated.

I’ve been looking into buying this game but I have a couple of quick questions.  Can anyone tell me if this or any version can be played solo? And second, would this be a good one to start playing if I’m new to the game?  I’m willing to put in the time and effort to learn the rules and prefer a complex game, if that helps.  Thanks.
