Request to Team BAB

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.

Thanks for your imput i welcome it
But my original gripe about this game was a lack a decent tutorial
I have been on about this for a while and am thankful for all the replys that i have had
BUT and its a big BUT all i was asking for was a response from the devs
There has been nothing whatsoever from them
That is why i am going on about it
How long will it take to type a few words in reply
Is it any wonder the sales are so small
People looking at this thread will more than likely be put off buying this game not only because of the price but also the lack of any response from the devs
They probably think what a waste of time buying this game when the game seems to be abandond

I appreciate what you are saying zakblood
But i dont want to see vids or twitch
all i was asking for was a tutorial that you can playthrough
It dosn't need to be long
Just how to show how things are done something that can be played over and over
Others seem to do short tutorials

fair point and very valid ones, sorry can't help, i played the game to death in beta testing it, and can honestly say i've still not had another one like it, for pure enjoyment, then again before this game, i only played WW2 ones, so was my first, have tried a few others since, but not as yet came close the the play ability of this one, but understand where you are coming from as well, as it's not the easist of games to pick up and play, but no way near one the hardest, or me it's in the middle, but yes needs some good reading skills used in the manual to really play and appreciative, and one of those game that only with time you can fully master, not saying i'm any good either, just for me it's enough of a challenge to keep me coming back and into a time period i'd previously not been or wanted to go to either.

Unfortunately, you are more or less right. Tutorials are developed for popular games. For games barely hanging in there, it is do your self learning with some help from the few people still reading these forums.

It is a chicken or the egg type question, would better tutorials bring more customers? But if there were more customers, then the company could dedicate more people to the game to write tutorials, post of forums, etc.

Yes our niche is certainly in the dregs compared to some others. Thankful to Matrix/S they are keeping releases coming anyway.

I was sent the latest INC Magazine for free. Check out the cover story on Riot Games, maybe online.

Never heard of it (I'm 60!) but the money involved is mind boggling.

The move toward high end expensive games like those developed by Riot Games is why we have no games. They aim for the twitch market that wants fast paced, high quality graphics games. All of which are based on the basic play theme of get the biggest gun/sword/etc you can, fire/hit as fast as you can, and run around a lot.

The type players that like these are young and willing to spend hours every day playing them.

Us old folks with our plodding 2D counter games just can't compete with them.

Think I will go on WW II Online: Europe and shoot a few Germans in frustration.:)

not my sort of cup of tea either, then again online puts me off, so apart from that, and the sort of game, it's not for me, and maybe never was or meant to be either
