    Default Battle for Westnoth

    Got this free with PC Gamer (in the UK) this month, but it's also available here:-

    Great fantasy turn-based tactical wargame, seriously addictive! I'd like to say I play it whilst I'm waiting for the AI to do it's thing in ETW, but that would be a lie cos you'd never go back to ETW cos you need just one more turn

    Anyone else playing? It's got hotseat and MP!

    I've played a good amount of time here and there, usually around new releases. The game's pretty challenging and I think I've finished only one campaign.

    Ah, BfW. Good fun. Spent many hours on it but I've only passed one or two campaigns. I remember getting pretty far in a third campaign but I don't think I ever got around to finishing it. I was annoyed at the time-limit on each battle, forced me to act quickly in a turn-based game - not a good combination.

    Perhaps, Alexander, you could try and get that freeware thread of yours linked up to The Arena. Many people have posted games like this when they've only just found out about them, when they could've discovered the little gems times ago. Just a suggestion.

    It could probably do with a total overhaul anyway. There is a games section though, and BfW is there. :)
