In this After Action Report I will be playing the Wilson's Creek standard scenario. There are more than 20 battle scenarios available to play in Brother Against Brother but I chose this one because it was such an interesting early war clash - sometimes called the Bull Run of the West. Close to six thousand Union troops, including militia from Missouri, Kansas, and Iowa, and some regular army companies under Brig. General Nathaniel Lyon attempted a Manassas type pincer movement against the encampment of 13,000 Missouri and Arkansas State Guard commanded by Major General Sterling Price. The outcome of the battle placed southwest Missouri firmly in Rebel hands for the rest of the war. Here are the scenario options I've chosen: Difficulty '1st Lietenant'. I could have chosen any level from Corporal to Full General, with the higher ranks giving the AI progressively more advantages in cohesion, morale, aggressiveness, and likelihood of executing orders as given. I have the 'end turn activation rule' off. See the manual for more information on this, but it has to do with when the player gets notification that a specific brigade is not able to follow orders that turn (not activated). I personally kind of like to know sooner rather than later. (Now in actuality, difficulty levels below Lt. Colonel don't have such failed activations!)
