The Battle for Wesnoth

TheBattle for Wesnoth is a turn-based Fantasy Strategy game that I have lately used (far too much) time on. It is a free, open source offering (licensed under the GPL) that - in my view - offers everything that a for-money game should. On top of this it is actively developed upon, so much so, that the comming stable version - currently in beta - is available for the brave and adventourus people out there.

The Battle for Wesnoth - according to Wikipedia - is based on the SNES games (links refer to Wikipedia pages) and is written by David White. From the Wesnoth Wiki : "

The Battle for Wesnoth is a turn-based strategy game with a fantasy theme.

A magical lightning strike

Build up a great army, gradually turning raw recruits into hardened veterans. In later games, recall your toughest warriors and form a deadly host against whom none can stand! Choose units from a large pool of specialists, and hand-pick a force with the right strengths to fight well on different terrains against all manner of opposition."

There is both a campaign (single player) and multiplayer including Hot Seat and Internet games

I will play... uhmm research this game further and file a full review at a later date.

But for now I will say: It is highly addictive!
