Playing either side and multiplayer scenarios

From the first clash at Manassas to the epic confrontation between Lee and Grant, the Brother Against Brother series will bring new levels of historical detail and realism to the battles of the Civil War. This regimental-level game, created by the developers of the award-winning Forge of Freedom, builds on that game’s acclaimed tactical engine, adding scrupulously researched orders of battle, high-quality map graphics, command and control rules reflecting the numerous challenges faced by army commanders, and plenty other features. Beginning with The Drawing of The Sword – which recreates the pivotal opening battles at Manassas , Wilson ’s Creek, Mill Springs and Williamsburg – Brother Against Brother lets you refight the Civil War from start to finish.

Playing either side and multiplayer scenarios

Post by Ironclad »

I see that one scenario is described as human v human (a Manassas one) but I assume that more than this are available for multiplayer. Also how many of the AI scenario's allow for each side to be played?

All the scenarios are available for multiplayer. That one Manassas scenario you mentioned starts earlier with forces further back to allow for maximum flexibility for human vs. human games, so it's designed for that but every other scenario is designed for both AI and PBEM.

Thanks Erik. What about games against the AI - is it a fixed side for the human player in each scenario or can one choose to play either USA or CSA?

For all of the scenarios I tried, the player can choose either side. (including the one that is labeled Human vs Human).

Thanks

Completely up to you, the scenarios are not limited, both sides have AI.

I should add that one of our testers pointed out that calling the scenario "Human vs. Human" might lead to the very sorts of questions asked above, so I renamed the scenario to "2-player only," which should indicate (I hope!) that all other scenarios can be either 1-player or 2-play.

Michael Jordan plays ball. Charles Manson kills people. I torment eager potential customers by not sharing screenshots of "Brother Against Brother." Everyone has a talent.
