This is the Free demo version of Fields of Battle - Strategic Warfare Series,
World War I.
Fields of Battle is a exciting strategic warfare game running
on both Amiga and MS-Windows for PC. The game is the first strategic
computer game in the Strategic Warfare Series.
You may think of Fields of Battle as an ordinary strategic boardgame
combined with the advantages of the computer. The userinterface is
easy to use and includes about 200 pages of on-line help.
The theme of Fields of Battle is World War I and you are the general
staff of the involved empires. You decide where and when to expand
production capacity, infrastructure and intelligence service. The army,
navy and airforce is also in your control and you must plan your
strategic campaigns wisely to win the war.
Please note: This version can only be used on Amiga.
You can find information on how to obtain
