Brother Against Brother is Out Now!

Post by Daniele »

"The art of war is simple enough. Find out where your enemy is. Get at him as soon as you can. Strike him as hard as you can, and keep moving on." (Ulysses S. Grant, Union General)

Today you have the chance to rewrite the opening battles of the American Civil War with the official release of Brother against Brother: The Drawing of the Sword!

Thanks to years of primary research and unique access to some materials previously unavailable to game-designers, the latest wargame from developer Western Civilization Software offers an incredible level of detail and accuracy: battlefields, units, weapons and orders of battle have been recreated with a rare passion. Only the ones who are able to coordinate the movements of their divisions and maintain cohesion at every level of their army will have the chance to avoid seeing their men retreating from the battlefield!

Rediscover the battle maps and histories of the famous early encounters (1st Manassas, Wilson’s Creek, Mill Springs and Williamsburg) that were the source of inspiration of the 25 scenarios available in the game from the official product page of Brother against Brother – The Drawing of the Sword!

The game comes updated to Version 1.0.1 (see changes here) and with over 200 PDF pages manual! For Free!

Hello. I would just like to confirm that this game is not on Steam, and is not coming to Steam in the very near future. Or is it?

Thanks!

That's correct Jeff. If it does go to Steam in the future, everyone who purchases here will still get a free Steam key.

A minor nit pick from the product page:
Turn Scale: 1 day

Shouldn't that be 20 minutes?
