Trying to decide whether to purchase this one or Ageod's Civil War II. Suggestions?
Also, what screen resolutions are supported?

Thanks!

You're talking two very different games. Both have pros and cons depending on your likes. If you love attention to detail and micromanage at the strategic and operational levels then CWII may be more of your interest. But beware, it is huge (depending on the scenario ... it does have small scenarios but you're missing the power of the game) with lots and lots of stuff to track and manage. No tactical game in CWII. FoF is a little dated. The AI can put up a good fight but is over aggressive and over protective of Richmond. FoF map is smaller than CwII. FoF has a tactical option. FoF stacks (armies, corps, divisions) are easier to visualize and organize. CWII leadership model is more realistic. I could go on and on. It goes back to what you're looking for. If you want huge map with lots and lots of things to track and micro manage than CWII may be you interest. If you want something a little less overwhelming and willing to deal with the AI issues of an older game, FoF may be of interest. I've played both by e-mail. I had some major issues with force balance in FoF (vs. a human the game is a little bias towards the South but it isn't huge). I can not comment on resolutions. Hope that helps. This and $1 won't buy a cup of Starbuck's coffee.
