Miniature wargame. American Civil War small action rules. Including optional rules for the French & Indian War, and other periods. "Brother Against Brother" is a rule set for small actions and skirmishes between company or smaller, sized units. In order to allow for a wargame to be completed in a short length of time - about 3-4 hours - the rules are as simple and short as possible, but maintain the feel of firefight from the American Civil War period. Equipment needed: 1 or more tape measures in inches. 3 or more D10 dice. Cotton balls. Appropriate figures (about ten figures/squad). Scenery for the table (the more the better).
