Devil's Brigade Lux is apparently a promotion for some kind of TV show (people still watch TV, I'm told) about the First Special Services Force (aka the "Devil's Brigade"), a joint Canadian-US unit that served in Italy (and the largely irrelevant thrust into Southern France post-D-Day) in the Second World War.

But more importantly, from my perspective, it's another excellent Risk-like game from Sillysoft, who also created Lux Delux and Ancient Empires Lux -- but unlike those games, it's utterly free, since the ostensible purpose is to promote this TV show thingie.

A bunch of levels (not sure how many, as I haven't played through the whole thing as yet) Only one level that recreate the a battles faced by the FSSF -- and yes, this is Risk, so if you're looking for detailed simulations of the Italian Campaign at an operational level, this isn't it -- but hey, the historical tie lends some interest, and the actual gameplay is fun.

And who can argue with that?
