well then, thank goodness i am not the only one quizzing this. me and my wife have the game and enjoy it greatly. we especially like being able to take out each others pawns into battle. good that kevin is doing it, as he has earned his trustworthiness with me with his love for RPG's over the years. i do regret that i could not look at hte review before i bought, as i like to do research before dropping money on a new game. hell, i even had to go to *cough* ign to look at a review. it was this or game of thrones, and i think i made the right choice.
