Demo Info:

The For Liberty! Demo features a hypothetical southern campaign from April to October 1780. You must stop the raiding Indians and also fight a full British brigade. Most gameplay features are enabled in the Demo, and you can even play the tactical battles!

TCP/IP and PBEM multiplayer are not available in this version, but if there is interest we will release a multiplayer enabled demo in the future.

In addition to the American Revolution, don't forget that the full game also features an entire other theater of operations: Hungary during the Rakoczi Independence War. This was the eastern conflict that occured during the Spanish Inheritance War (1703-1711). It is a completely different experience from war in the colonies and features fort sieges and much more fluid use of cavalry.
