Good news for you, American Civil War fans!

As the release date of Brother Against Brother: the Drawing of the Sword approaches, we have a lot to share with you.

One of the key features of the game is the incredible attention to detail and realism that was put to recreate the historical battle maps. So from now until release, we will give you the opportunity to let you browse them, discover them, own them and more!

We will start with the 1st Manassas battle map. This huge image has been slightly reduced to allow you to check it out online, but you can also download the fully blown thing alongside a 20 page PDF booklet with the battle history and the full in-game order of battle. Download it here if you want to be blown away!

The map is so rich in detail, you will be able to find all elements from single regiments to railroads, woods, villas. Nothing was left out of it. It took years of primary research for Western Civilization Software to come up with one of the most detailed and historical battle maps every created for any game.

To make thing easy, you will find all this also in the download section of the product page.

Stay tuned! Because we have planned to release a new map every week until the release of the game.

The attention to detail and graphic design on that map looks fantastic. That alone has put this game on my radar, and I'm not really a Civil War era gamer.

Is there really a Grigsby house in Centreville in the NE corner of the map, or is that just a subtle nod?

Thanks!

And no nod -- I just checked the McElfresh map I used, and that is indeed the name there.

In our maps if a house has a name that's authentic. It didn't even occur to me to try to sneak in names of friends or fellow developers.

That's one great looking map.
