Hi Phil, I understand there are a lot of differences, and some similarities also, and I may have written my post in haste, the more I think about it, it is I personally don't really get in to games such as this. But on the other hand it does appear to be a very well done game, and I hope you understand that I was not trying to belittle the incredible work you have done. Thanks.
