And for those who want even more campaigning, a version of the official mini-campaign that does not require the CD (as some other versions do) can be downloaded here:

Having all five games of the 5 star general series (Panzer General, Allied General, Star General, Fantasy General, Pacific General), I have to say that Fantasy General was my favorite of the series.

SSI expanded on the abilities of units in Fantasy General compared to the other games. Some being closed and open formations, different "range" of attacks, and wounds.
Closed formation units, Heavy Infantry and Heavy Calvery fight the best in clear terrain, and are slow to move through any terrain other than clear or road.
Open formation units, pretty much everything else, aren't slowed by forests or rough as much.
Seige weapons, Bombadiers and Archers have what is called "range" attacks. That means when they attack or defend, they make almost all of their attacks before anyone else gets to attack, except other archers.
Skirmishers, Spellcasters and Light Calvery have what is called "skirmish" attacks. That means they attack after the archers but before everyone else.
Sky Hunters, Heavy Infantry, and Heavy Calvery have "melee" attacks. That means they go last.

To explain a little more:
If an archer attacks any unit other than another archer, the defending unit doesn't get to attack back.
If a skirmisher attacks an archer, the archer goes first than the skirmisher goes.
If a skirmisher attacks Heavy Infantry/Calvery, the Heavy Infantry/Calvery doesn't get to fight back. Really nasty since Skirmishers get bonuses when attacking closed formation units.
If a melee unit attacks archers or skirmishers, the archers/skrimishers attack before the melee unit gets to attack.

Yes, the combat system in FG is okay, but I must say, the one in PG was far richer. I think I'm not too partial, since I played FG a lot but with PG I played through the first two battles and then got too lazy to coordinate all those varied units. Some day I must get back to PG seriously...

This game (FG) was too repetitive though, I played it several times but every time I quitted it before completing it, out of boredom, not because I found it difficult at all. Every continent was the very same as the previous one, just bigger, with more battles and more units in each one...

I never mind before but now that u say i never can play more than one scenarion per run. I find the game interesing but i dont know why, i can make many advance in a day and the AI isnt the problem.

@guest: I think you can get the music here:
http://www.fg.galchenkofamily.com/

I imagine you could play it with any mp3-player while running the game in dosbox, did not try it yet though as I prefer to listen to my own music

By the way, I just joined the Play-by-email group:
http://generalsguild.com/fantasygeneral/index.php

the group is alive, but some more active players would be welcome I guess.
So... give it a try!

Thank you, o great link provider! (bow)

I dont get any sound at all from either DOSBOX or the VMD thingy. Does this have sound?
