Bios

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.

I'm playing the Mill Springs Standard Scenario (PBEM game) as CSA and the BIOs don't work.

can confirm mill springs and Williamsburg & Wilson creek standard doesn't work so that's one to fix all bio's in

so either something in the patch of code has stopped this is the latest beta patches, but will be sorted and fixed..

I'm playing Williamsburg standard. I can get Longstreet's bio but not Anderson's even when selected.

now members are saying which ones aren't, when they all did before, it won't hopefully take long to fix, all worked on release, so maybe a bad patch somewhere or a line in the code missed, i'm sure they will fix it soon enough as they are a great team working on it

I checked all the BGs in Williamsbuurg standard. The only Confederates missing were Anderson, Stuart and Colston. However, none of the Union commanders had bios.

It seems the game is incorrectly showing the BIO tag for some generals who don't actually have biographical data. I'm testing a fix for it.

Some things in Union Manasas are odd:
Hunter
Porter's bio shows Hunter's
Burnside shows Hunter's
Hentzleman shows McDowel's
Franklin shows Hentzlman's

Only Holmes is missing for the South

Thanks for the additional reports. In the next few days there will be a new beta patch that should fix this, so please do not trouble yourselves with further reports about missing bios.
Michael Jordan plays ball. Charles Manson kills people. I torment eager potential customers by not sharing screenshots of "Brother Against Brother." Everyone has a talent.
