Using comments section on multiplayer

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.

Using comments section on multiplayer

Post by Ironclad »

Must admit that I wish the multiplayer screen was as user friendly as the one in Pike and Shot. One confusing aspect is the comments section - how can one ensure that the entry there only goes to the game you intend it for? And can one insert a number of different comments for different games at the same time?

Ok your messages will always be behind a bit. You can only send a message when it is your turn in the game.

1) Type the message in the lower (white) box.

2) Highlight the game you want it sent on. (Again it must be your turn)

3) Hit play turn.

4) The message will be sent after you finish moving and hit end turn.

5) The receiver can see the message in the upper box on his end when he highlights the game.

No you can't send to multiple people or to anyone except by the above. Typing a message and hitting send or enter or whatever goes nowhere.

Maybe in some future patches or new games in the series they will make improvememnts to the message system.
