This little gem has been spreading around and i haven't seen it mentioned here. Basically, it's a game developed by two people that is by now very playable. It's an RPG that is very open-ended and is set in a realistic medieval period. None of that magic crap. The combat system is very varied and allows for many roleplaying options including mounted combat. Lances, javelins, big swords, little swords, this game lets you roleplay just about any MTW style unit. Even horse archers. The number of men is scalable, it allows for fairly large battles (certainly nothing close to what total war games allow) and you have some control over you party. I think this game is definitely for anyone who has ever imagined himself as one of those units. The game can be downloaded and played for free until level 6.
