1848 Hungarian War of Independence Computer Game
Software
1848 is a good looking and FREE! computer game. From the publisher’s page:
1848 is a turn based computer strategy game, set during the violent era of the Hungarian Independence War of 1848-49. 1848 was a year of revolutions. Most of the uprisings were crushed quickly, but Hungary was an exception. While Austria was occupied in dealing with the independence movements in Italy, Hungary used the time to train and deploy a competent army.. The newly created Honved Army suffered some set-backs in 1848, but in the 1849 spring counter-attack, the whole country was liberated. Victory was sweet but short for Hungary—in the summer of 1849 the Tsar of Russia intervened with 200,000 troops. In history, this force could not be stopped. Can you change history?
1848 is a turn based operational strategy game for the PC. The game plays out on a large hexagonal map. You are responsible for all your forces and must decide what do with each of them. Attack, retreat, recon, defend, fortify, siege an enemy fort or build a new army the choice is up to you.
1848 has a simple, intuitive interface. There are no counters in the game, only large animated figures. More than a dozen unit types are included, organized into batteries and regiments. The tutorial campaign will teach you all the things you need to be successful in the game. When you feel ready, you can fight against Austria for Hungary’s independence or crush the Hungarian rebellion with the Habsburg army in 6 campaigns. All campaigns start with a well-researched setup, giving you an authentic historical starting point. When you have mastered the AI, play against a human opponent via E-mail, Hotseat play or across a TCP/IP Network (LAN and Internet).
