THANKS TO...
Gavin Syme for letting me bring Obidiah and his nefarious band up
to date. Tony Harwood for the original box art photographs at the
eleventh hour. Emma for the removal of all my errant apostrophes
and other such grammatical faux pas. And special mention goes to
my original Flintloque group; Ben, Mark and CJ, for having already
chosen their forces leaving me with the Deserters back in „96.
