I've just started painting some Perry ACW and so have been looking through my stack of rule books in case I ever paint enough to have a game. I found Brother Against Brother, and looking at old TMP posts, it seemed to be a very popular skirmish game that is now long out of print. Does anyone still play this game? If not, what are the popular ACW skirmish rules these days? |

They came up in conversation at the club the other day and we are hoping to try them out soon. I haven't played them for at least 10 years. Rebels and Patriots are the popular set at our club for AWI and ACW skirmish style games. |

We have had at least two games of Brother against Brother at Nashcon for a number of years now. |

I own it but no longer play it. I'd be interested in a more modern rules set. |

I haven't seen it played locally in many years. Rebels and Patriots seems to be a popular system. |

I know that they have been play testing version 2. |

Our club play it regularly as a multi-player game. Last night we played a scenario with 6 players. Always a good fun game. Although we play a version of our own based on the Tiny Tin Man version (Not the current version though, last years). We play a free flowing skirmish game without the cards. We use the TTM charts.
What I particularly like about it is the tension of having to roll on the morale charts before a unit that has a hit marker can take an action. Also the morale tests before a unit can charge and the defender receiving a charge. We love it! |
