If the BaB designers can't get the basics of FOW right, how can we trust them to get anything right? :(

Beyond casualties, morale recovery, etc., extending randomness also to movement, leader & unit activation, whether or not a unit fires, friendly fire, etc.

Please tell me you can mod the unit graphics, and on-map info indicators. The map is fine (even if somewhat too dark and the white-tick slope marks look kind of goofy). It's the unit sprites and other on-map indicators that together make everything look so jumbled and confusing! You can change ever...

I see lots of little glitches and flaws that I hestitate to mention at their forum because I don't want to appear to be too negative. The game is still quite rough around the edges.

Also, you can mod the game. No map editor but just about everything else can be changed. I have been tinkering with a Second Manassas scenario involving just A. P. Hill's defense of Jackson's left since the First Manassas map covers this area. Please tell me you can mod the unit graphics, and on-ma...

In the new betas, they are tweaking graphics little by little. But what a pity the BaB sprites map displays are not as clean, crisp, uncluttered and clear as depicted in the splendid Old Banshee mods shown here: http://old-banshee.com/3d-maps-antietam.php If the BaB devs could merge Old Banshee-like...

With the posting of today's new 1.05beta, the game looks sharper. And new hot keys! Little by little, release by release, raising the quality level, polishing the game...

Scourge of War, a game with far greater graphics demands than Brother Against Brother -- on my "older gaming rig" (Windows 7 Home Premium, dual-core AMD Athlon 64 3800+, 4 GB RAM; ATI R5450 Radeon graphics card, 1 GB DDR3), I can run SoW fine, no problem. AGEOD's ACW II, no problem. Even P...

UI issues and a flawed graphics presentation? I'll explain (WARNING: at very great length!) ... [*] When one unit fires on another, an unsightly thick red arrow points from the firing unit to the target unit. Whether or not casualties result, the arrow goes away after a time. In many exchanges, ther...

I have serious issues with the FOW, also the game's UI and graphics presentation. Potentially a great game, but I'm not as pleased or overwhelmed as I should be. Waiting to see if and how they polish the game further.

After purchasing three Dell XP systems c. early 2007, I haven't bought any new systems since. The boxes are now upgraded to Windows 7, Windows 8, and SUSE Linux, in various combinations of dual boot and/or virtualization. Especially for virtualization, I can certainly make good use of newer, faster,...

The problem seems to be my tablet, and possibly Android version, therefore. (Maybe I can ameliorate the problem by installing CyanogenMod, although that would break my warranty.) A word of caution then: Unless you have a recent, higher-end tablet, you might find the current versions of CWB Mobile f...

I eat my words: Why would anyone want to play these games on a porthole-view, tiny tablet display? Scrollfest? I have purchased the six earlier titles in the CWB series (for Android), and just yesterday the latest release, CWB: Corinth. (I also picked up MC: Mideast '67, also for Android.) Much to ...
