Although we are still in week 17, I though I'd post some of the games I had planned for next week, amongst hich are Crimson Fileds, Egoboo and Enemy Nations.
Crimson Fields is similar to the game I posted a few days ago called Advanced Strategic Command, though Crimson fields is a little simpler in both graphic style and game play., and both of which were inspired by the Battle Isle series where you play on a hexagonal grid like map.
Crimson Fields (1.31Mb)
The outcome of the war lies in your hands. You decide which units are sent to the front lines, and when to unleash the reserves. Your mission objectives range from defending strategically vital locations to simply destroying all enemy forces in the area. Protect supply convoys or raid enemy facilities to uncover technological secrets or fill your storage bays so you can repair damaged units or build new ones in your own factories. Lead your troops to victory!
Crimson Fields is a turn-based tactical war game. It can be played against a human opponent in hot-seat mode in front of the same machine, over a network, or via e-mail, or against the computer.
The game comes with tools for creating custom maps and campaigns, and a converter for maps from the classic games Battle Isle and History Line.
