You can support your operations with the cannons of your fleets. There are 16 unit types of 5 nations included, each in authentic uniforms. All units in the game are large, animated figures. Each turn covers one week of real time.

In all this is one of the best games for the dollar that I've reviewed and I heartily endorse it.

Review of For Liberty! at Xtreme-Gamer
"Patience is the key to such wars and this system rewards us by giving, like the background music, a great period feel along with accurate gameplay. Let us raise a bumper to Liberty and Hussar Games!"

Review of For Liberty! at Out of Eight PC Game Reviews
"Computer games are finally starting to branch out into major conflicts other than World War II: the Russo-Japanese War, the Middle East, and the Civil War have all made an appearance recently. Hussar Games brings classic wargaming conventions to this troubled time period, covering both the American and Hungarian revolutions."
