JENS GRANSEUER Crimson Fields is a tactical war game in the tradition of Battle Isle. The outcome of the war lies in your hands. You decide which units are sent to the front lines, and when to unleash the reserves. Your mission objectives range from defending strategically vital locations to simply destroying all enemy forces in the area. Protect supply convoys or raid enemy facilities to uncover technological secrets or fill your storage bays so you can repair damaged units or build new ones in your own factories. Lead your troops to victory! Tools are available to create custom maps and campaigns. You can also play the original Battle Isle maps if you have a copy of the game. You can pit yourself against another human player either in hot-seat mode in front of the same machine, over a network, or via e-mail, or against the computer. Crimson Fields is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL). It has been developed and tested on Intel architecture with Linux, but it shouldn't be too hard to make it compile and run on other operating systems as well. It works with Linux, various flavours of BSD, Sun Solaris, MacOS X, BeOS, and MS Windows, among others. For installation instructions and system requirements see the INSTALL file. The latest release can be found at: http://crimson.seul.org Feel free to send any kind of constructive (or encouraging) feedback. Have fun! Jens Granseuer bi2cf is a map conversion tool for Crimson Fields. It takes the data files of a map from Battle Isle, Battle Isle Data Disk 1 or 2, or History Line 1914-1918 and converts them into map sources suitable for the cfed map compiler for Crimson Fields. Unfortunately, we didn't get permission to distribute the original maps or the modified versions, so you need a copy of one of those games to make use of this program. You can, of course, also convert custom maps which have been created using one of the map editors available for Battle Isle.
