RE: Brother Against Brother V1.03beta now available for testing!!

I agree with spelk. Kudos on the patch. Many of the irritants I found in playing the game have been replaced with more user-friendly graphics and buttons.

Thanks!

RE: When is the boxed version shipping?

Thanks for the follow-up!

I just checked my spam box and the shipping notification was in there.

(I've ordered many games over the years from Matrix and that's the first time correspondence from Matrix got routed to my spam box.)

When is the boxed version shipping?

Maybe I missed where it was mentioned.

I've bought boxed versions in the past and usually they ship in one or two days. (I bought the game last Thursday (4/16/15.)

Are the manuals still at the printers?

Thanks.

Would be great to have a button to jump to the next brigade.

Second vote for a click-able button to move to the next unit instead of using the keyboard.

RE: No Early Purchasers Discount?

Thanks for the perks, but I already own the excellent Forge of Freedom.

I'm buying the packaged version to get the owner's manual. (How about getting the game's developers to autograph my owner's manual? [:)] )

No Early Purchasers Discount?

I liked the way Matrix was offering a one-week "early purchaser's" discount on its past few games. Not this time though, huh?

How about free shipping or no sales tax?

RE: Enemy units are shooting past their attack range

Normal terrain distance for archers is 8 hexes. Could it be that those archers are sitting up in castle towers which may give them a distance advantage?

I haven't read the manual yet, so I'm just guessing.)

RE: Major bug with losing items in saved games

I've just finished the third mission and haven't had any problems with missing items from saves. I equipped the dagger to another member of my army and equipped the Beserker's axe to the main character before going into the third mission.
