Can you please post a link? The Slitherine site says the product is out of stock and I can't find it in the App store.

I just did a search for Field of Glory in the App Store through iTunes - full name is Field of Glory Ancient & medieval Gaming System which may help.

Obviously the McNeils need a coffee, or a whisky depending which one is in charge that day, before anything gets done of a morning.

First impressions of the MAC version is that navigation is somewhat clumsy compared with what I imagine will be a very smooth iPAD page turning. I haven't figured out yet if I can resize the page so that I don't have to scroll down to see the full page on my screen.

The EULA for the PC V2 reader only allows installation on one computer at a time. To my knowledge this is different from other Slitherine software at least as indicated in the forums and was not how I understood the FoG V2 reader was intended to be licensed.

Re: Field of Glory 2.0 - coming October 18th!
This may well be the worst ereader application in the world. If only it had the high tech capapbilities provided by cutting edge technology like PDFs! It is impossible to resize the reader window on the PC and the resize button is completely non-functional. There is no search capability as well. As far as I can see so far, the V2 digital version is inferior in all respects to the V1 paper version. At a screen resolution of 1600x900 on my laptop screen, I cannot even display a full page vertically without having to scroll! And I'm not interested in having to turn my laptop side ways so I can read a rotated version of the screen.

Hi all
Well I've given up on waiting for the printable version and downloaded the rules to my work laptop.
I've no experience of ereaders but after a bit of trial and error am finding my way round fine. The view fills the centre two thirds of my screen and is easily readable.
Just one point..............I though columns were going to be penalised in V2, anyone spotted anything?
