Brit II was playtested recently by four folks who have played Brit many times, but who are not of the "shark" type seen at WBC and in other tournaments. They...
... Honestly, none of this makes sense. A competent and normally-lucky Roman will already have weakened the Picts enough that the Scots need no help; and the...
... Never true. The Picts are basically invulnerable in their highlands; the Romans are lucky if they can take their "big three" areas, they'll rarely get...

First, I have found the rest of the original rules and map. Many years ago I was in the habit of giving carbon copies of stuff to my brother in case my house...
... If two-sided counters are possible, the increase-population counter could be flipped over to indicate submission. This also helps to remind that...
... The two player game will inevitably suffer from lack of multi-player rebalancing. I.e., if one side gets good luck in the first turns, the advantage...
... In my Hy Breasil game, I have a general submission rule as follows: ========= \subsection{Submission} A nation may submit to a nation that attacks it if it...
Hello all. Our group is looking for a new player - one of our regular members has had to take a break. We play a fairly fast game, with several moves a day. ...
Before Christmas, I had only time to look atthe first half of the rules. I managed during Christmas to look at the rest (though not the TRC or VPC's). Here...

My brother reminded me of the Avalon Hill game Anzio, which uses different shades of a color to indicate different types of units on the German, American,...
I've posted a file InvExtras.doc that includes the original VP and appearance, and my comments comparing it to the Avalon Hill VP and App. There are not many...
... I thought the 10 Dane raiders would have been quite handy, especially when I've seen them struggle. I see that hardly any points have been changed (!), but...

Norse and Dubliner Raiders are not currently shown on the Rules TRC on Turn 12. Also why not put things like King possible at end of Turn at the bottom of each...
Further to the general discussion on submission could steppe nomads be allowed to retreat into other people's areas (that don't already have a battle between...
I don't appear to have received digest 534, but read the messages at Yahoo groups. Paul, I don't know how Avalon Hill afforded the multi-shaded pieces in...

Lew, I don't know if you have seen my messages 2028, 2031 and 2032. I have a feeling your Digests edit out all of my comments, which shows it has good taste....
The original Invasions map is now in the files area (photograph). This is a tracing of the "lost" original map. Note that " Somerset" is written only in...
