I would actually suggest StkNES5. That was my first NES and the first NES of several people here. It is a good place to start. I suggest taking one of the well established NPC's far away from Europe (big war going on right now, would be difficult to jump in for a beginer). Perhaps Veitnam or one of the Hunnic states (China, Japan and Korea equivalents whose names I forget). Africa is also a bad place to start since pretty much all of Africa is involved in the war as well. If you want I could send you my last set of orders for StkNES5, although they wre actually my longest and most complex ever. I could also send you my last set for MjM's NES.
