RTS fans may be interested to know that there's a big fat demo now available for CDV's Cossacks II: Napoleonic Wars. You can download it from 3D Gamers.

Cossacks II lets you play as France, Britain, Austria, Russia, Prussia or Egypt as they duke it out across 19th century Europe. The game features 150 different units, 1000 types of flora and fauna and up to 64,000 units on screen at any one time, would you believe.

The demo weighs in at 476MB and comprises an intro movie, two tutorials, two single battles and a skirmish map. You can read a full review of the game here, and see some nice pictures of it here.
