What other WCS game(s) do you own?

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.

Not in the immediate future. We've discussed doing it, but it would depend on 1) the battles involved and 2) our time. The biggest hindrance is the maps, since at 75-yard hexes it's crazily time-consuming enough to prepare maps for actual battlefields, but a true campaign-based release should have potential battlefields. For example, if we do the Overland Campaign we'd have to prepare enormous maps that begin to the north and head south as Lee is pushed back, but if the CSA player wins the first battle and pushes the north back it would make sense to have a map showing where the next fight might be. I think the best chance of our doing one is with the Peninsula Campaign, especially the Seven Days Battles. So we'll keep that possibility in mind.
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.
