I'll probably join that pre-WWI game once you start up a thread and it's organized.
As for the star wars insurrection, I downloaded it and took a look. Like most guys here I only watched the movies and that's it, but I do know civilization, and the combat/building concepts are still the same. I also suggest that we start a new thread, and there we can decide who plays what. I'd probably like one of the two empire civs, since they are easier than the republic and I am new to space scenarios, but I really don't care.
