As a youth I saw this advertisement in an old Dragon magazine and while I forgot the name of the game, the picture of it stuck in my mind for decades, particularly the clever tagline: Excommunication is a harsh sentence. Can you stand up to the Pope’s attack fleets?
Recently I ran into some scans of the magazine and I poked around to find the ad and did some more searching on the name of the game. Unfortunately, it looks like the game, “Imperial Earth,” was never produced.
