This game is freeware. It operates at four levels - tactical and divisional battles and operational and strategic campaigns. At present(more is in the works)the following historical periods are represented: Napoleonic(all four levels), World War II(all four levels), medieval(tactical battles), 18th century(tactical battles)and modern(divisional battles and a strategic campaign). The download package also includes map and army/scenario editors. One caveat: The FOS2 graphics won't win any awards although I think they do the job well enough. Anyway, to find this little gem go to Yahoo! Search and in the dialog box type in "field of strategy game"(no uppercase needed). On page one of the search results you should see a link to the game and to the TPGames start page. Once you get to the latter you will see the download link for this game. Another link you will see on the same page is the one taking you to the FOS2 forums in English and French(the FOS2 creator and forums moderator is French). After you have tried out the game you can sign up for the English forums and maybe keep me some company. It appears that a lot of people have signed up for the FOS2 forums in the past few weeks but they all seem to be going to the French forums, which is not surprising when you consider that the game has previously gotten precious little publicity outside France. Well, then, good luck and enjoy!!
