Turns? Daily?

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.

Turns? Daily?

Are the turns really daily for a regiment level game?

My understanding is that turns are 20 minutes except at night when they are longer. I too was confused by the daily turn scale reference on the product page. I think it really means that most scenarios are about a day long. Pointed it out already but it has not been corrected.

From the manual:
Note that all day-time turns are twenty minutes in length.

Yeah, sorry, I think that must be a mistake on the product page. Hopefully we can get it corrected.

Unfortunately we don't have an option for 20 minute turns right now on the back end. Turn time is chosen from a multiple choice list. I've put in the request to add that, but it hasn't happened yet. We'll update the product page ASAP to reflect the actual turn length.
