Printed manual...

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.

Printed manual...

Post by Hotschi »

Pondering whether to purchase (when the time arrives) d/l only, or the physical copy including the printed manual. Now, how's the quality of the printed manual? The books for War in the West and World in Flames happen to be of the same size, with a high quality paper and very good binding - how's the one for this game?

Hi Hotschi,

The printed manual for Brother against Brother is a full color 200 page printed manual on good stock. It's not the hardbound style like WIF and WITW, it's the same style as our other manuals so that it fits (barely) within the case.

Regards,

- Erik

Thank you for the answer - I own Forge of Freedom together with its (b/w) manual, so I now got a fairly good idea how the manual for this game looks like.

It'll be my 3rd American Civil War game, and I have high hopes that this will be the one I am finally sticking to.
