The battle of Chancellorsville was an important prelude to Gettysburg, but is not as frequently covered as the latter. However, if you are looking to get your fix of Chamberlains and Picketts, you may also be interested in Scourge of War: Gettysburg.
Brother against Brother has a great nostalgic feel to it. The sprites and the maps are reminiscent of wargames a generation or two ago, but the game packs several unique features that make it worth mentioning. Any battle not on the east coast is normally glossed over, so kudos to Western Civilization Software for broadening our collective horizons.
This coupled with a novel movement system, where units can sometimes refuse to move in a representation of orders being jumbled and lost, brings a refreshing yet familiar take on some less covered battles of the war.

And its really good. And when I release it in a couple of weeks, you should play it. So now I probably better answer some of the questions I know are headed my way: Why the hell did you decide to make this? I've wanted a good Civil War game for a few years now. I got Grigsby's one, but it has a pretty awkward interface and the idea of generals only being able to move one turn in eight is annoying. Civ 5 has a scenario but that's just the Eastern Theatre and it kind of sucks.
So I thought "why not just make my own? And a bit of Canada too. No I meant in terms of time, you daft fool! Weekly turns in summer, monthly turns in winter. Long enough to cover the whole war pretty much, on a scale similar to other SC maps.
I also plan on releasing campaigns starting in , and , but they'll all be pretty much the same map. There's partisans in Missouri. There's the blockade. Emancipation Proclamation. Trent War. General Grant. Everything I could think of pretty much. Compared to SC3 or Storm over Europe, there's far fewer events and decisions. When are you going to release it?
When it's ready. Which is pretty soon. Just not today. Post : 1. Post : 2. So, the all important question of 'how do you win?
Thanks to the NM system, I've been able to represent that fairly well. The Confederates will win the game if they are able to hold on to Richmond until September Although they came pretty close to achieving this in the real war, it's pretty unlikely that Lincoln or Grant would have stopped fighting at this arbitrary point just because "oh we failed to do this fast".
In the time just before the March to the Sea, the Union was however suffering from war weariness, and if a victory did not look possible in the near future say they never get close to Richmond or Atlanta , they probably would have given up at this time. Within the scenario's context, the Confederates would have run out of NM points if history was exactly followed some time around December I calculated 80k NM points necessary to extend it to April , but 60k points means that victory is achieved as soon as it becomes undeniably obvious who will win, without the need to play out half a dozen turns where very little except for random occupations happen.
A more decisive Confederate victory will require them to hold on to various other major locations such as Nashville, and capture Washington. Although the Washington defences themselves are not represented, the combination of the Potomac, nearby hills and lots of AI units means that Washington is pretty hard to capture. Oh yes, and trenches. Trenches are in the campaign, although the lower forcelimits mean that a massive WWI-style line crossing from Virginia to the Mississippi won't be possible.
More commonly however, the Union will simply give up when it runs out of NM. As the screenshot on post 1 indicates, the Union has to maintain control over its own territory or the various NM Objectives will come under threat. Lincoln can't very well deny that the CSA is a nation if Southern forces are launching full-scale invasions of the North after all.
Union NM is also heavily affected by events such as the possible entry of the UK or the Emancipation Proclamation, and tends to be lower than CS NM as they have less to lose if they are defeated. Union victory is accomplished effectively by outright reconquering the Confederacy, much as in real history.
This can either be done by conquering the 3 Confederate capitals Richmond, Atlanta, Charlotte or by taking most major Southern cities as happened in history. New Orleans, which is notably difficult to take by land invasion owing to geography, is not required, but a substantial drop in CS NM will occur if it does fall.
