- SHAREWARE
-
- This game is shareware. A software marketing concept that allows
- you to try out a game, before you decide to purchase it. The concept
- only works if you are honest, and after evaluating the game,
- register it to continue playing, or remove it from your system.
-
- Shareware authors can only continue to provide games like this,
- to you to play and evaluate, when they receive registrations.
-
- This version of World War II BATTLES 1.0: "The Bocage Bridges"
- will ONLY play the first 25 turns of the complete 75 turn scenario.
-
- This will give you more than enough time to evaluate the game
- and determine if you would like to register it. Our playtesting
- reveals that by playing the game twice, once as the US Army and
- once as the Wehrmacht, there is approximately FOUR (4) hours of
- play value provided by this version of the game.
-
- [Not bad for just the cost of the download? - Eric]
-
- If you are not ordering additional scenarios, but have enjoyed
- World War II BATTLES 1.0: "The Bocage Bridges", and would like
- to finish that scenario only, then please send $5.00 plus shipping
- ($3.00 for USA or $5.00 for outside the USA) to the Glacier Edge
- Technology address below. You will receive a disk containing
