In fairness, Red Star did let me install Fantasy General through the terminal, which was further than I was expecting to get, but it resolutely refused to run. And friends, I'm excited to tell you that my endeavours in this area were also failures. I'm fairly certain it's meant to be run on Ubuntu systems-which Red Star decidedly isn't-but hey, worth a shot.
