(Informally) Announcing a New Civil War Game from WCS

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.

And yes, progress is still being made. Things have slowed down for various reasons, but it is most certainly still under production. I might have some new screenshots in the not too distant future, in fact...
Hey look, it's the near future! Where's those new screenshots? Or the game itself? [:'(]

I recall a handful of years ago Walker Boys Studio was releasing an American Civil War game and were very active on their website about it. http://walkerboystudio.com/wbts/

No it is as dead as dead. Anyone know anything about it.

I played CWG2 more than anything and it works on my computer now, but not all of the scenarios install...any thoughts?

Life is tough. The sooner you realize that, the easier it will be.

As I just announced internally to the testers, our new map-maker as of this weekend has completed the Manassas and Williamsburg maps (which now await my "proofing" them and providing a list of any tweaks or corrections that are needed), and the second of the two Mill Springs maps is now just about at the same point. The Wilson's Creek map has been finished for well over a year. So, within a month or so we should have all five maps 100% done, leaving 1) improvements two scenarios; 2) creation of new scenarios; 3) testing testing testing; 4) final coding changes; 5) manual completion. I'll share some more screenshots as soon as I can -- they look good enough that I could do so now, but prefer not to do so until they are 100% complete.
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.
