Status: offline 		FOF is a great game and it would be awesome to see Western Civilization or some other company do an American Revolution game that is similar to FOF.
Does anyone else agree?

I notice that there are very few online reviews for it, plus almost no one is on the forum.
What I'm reading does not overwhelm me. However, I'm going to give it a try.
I have BOA, but don't really like the AGEOD games.
For Liberty does not seem to be getting the love that FOF does. I personally love FOF and would like to see one similar for the Revolution.

Status: offline 		For Liberty does have the combination of Strategic and Tactical that FOF does, though it's not as detailed or comprehensive a simulation as FOF. It's still a fun game. When we first added it to our catalog, I played through the campaign several times and had a great time.

I saw your other post. There are a few bugs that Hussar has not yet fixed, but none that should prevent your enjoyment of the game. It's been quite playable from the initial release.

Status: offline 		I 2nd the nomination for For Liberty as your war of independence fix with both strategic and tactical battles. I found the Ageod games pretty boring myself and not enough immediate information on the battles. I much prefer some form of tactical battles and information in the games I play today anyways. Games like Ageod makes are more like what your grandpa used to play. Computers can do so much today I don't see why more games don't offer both strategic and tactical in them or at least the option to use both.

Good to know we'd have at least one customer...

Anyway, I can also recommend For Liberty - although especially the tactical combat can seem somewhat underwhelming when you're coming from FOF.
Pretty underwhelming, in fact.
But it's still a fun game.
