It's a shame...

That the conquest games never had a companion to go with them, I would have loved to read Longbow and Camelot in novel form, especially if it was written by Peter Spear!

I have never read any companion or any work by Spear but I understand that such a book would be a bit... weird since the games are based on classical legendary/literary characters. Spear was good in adding a background to the blank games, but he couldn't do that with Arthur and Robin

It would be like "yet another Robin Hood novel (but this time just to be used as a game companion)".

Well there HAVE been many different takes on Robin and Arthur... same general concepts... but different twists and such.
