2000 to 2005 is The Dark Ages. I can’t find the files or there weren’t any… There would certainly have been something done up to 2000 as I was writing for G3 and The Game Cabinet. But after that it gets vague. I wasn’t actually gaming for a couple of years and returned to miniatures painting. Jenseits von Theben was the comeback title in 2004. I will see what I can find. MS
