I've now completed a full draught of my 32 turn version. This includes Brit II as the basis, with the Schmidt/Lawler Ireland rules and more of my own. I've...
Just read the new rules with "Red tweaks". I agree about new Saxon points and Norse raiding ability. However I still feel the game is unbalanced regarding the...
1. It is too late to make changes beyond tweaking points/appearance. 2. I don't see how changes in Brit 2 can have made the R-B situation much worse than in...
... Blackone, what is the scenario here? Are the Angles and Saxon in cahoots to wipe out the RBs? We need to meet the condition that, "...there are no...
Believe it or not, I've been working some on Britannia: the Card Game. I haven't played it, and I'm not sure there's much there, but here's the gist of it: ...
... Ble mae'r problem? ;-) L'Allemand Noir has a point about the R-Bs from a history point of view but again this comes back to not rethinking the logic in...
Thanks for your sharp eyes. I am just about to send the "slightly corrected" version to FFG, hoping they'll use that rather than what I sent two months ago....
the games I've played in Brit2 the rbs have done ok. Mainly by hiding out in Wales. If they hang out in North Wales there is even less incentive for the saxons...
... see ... that's all." To detail my experiences with Brit II rules re Romano-British: The Angles and Saxons can now score points for destroying Romans AND ...
I've just posted the finished Brit Extra files with a few additional tweaks to the invasions and some substantial alterations to the VP charts. I believe this...
... By constraining landing location you would be constraining intent. My point was to use existing rules structures instead of introducing what is in effect a...
Since changes to Brit II are now likely to be limited to details such as VP scores, I would like to propose the following minor tweaks to the VPs for Viking...
I thought you might want to see some comments from Bill Crew and playtesters (using the latest rules with Red tweaks): "Played two games with the new rules for...
I'm told FFG will start serious work on Brit 2 in a few weeks (fall publication, then). So I'll hold off another week or so on sending them the tweaked...
Just been playing around with post Conquest turns for Britannia Extra and came up with these: Turn 33 (1100-1150) Norman leader: Henry I, 8 Bloisians led by...
... Re: overlap. Well it's obviously not as great now that the Dubs have been downgraded for turn 16 York; but all the more reason for them to hang onto...
... I think these will be typical first experiences of regular punters, rather than classicists. As long as all the colours can win people will be happy with...
... Play balance should then be the focus of the willing punters then. ... Caithness is an easy core area for the Norse, so this would be guaranteed to help...
... Very reasonable. See my other reply. ... Yes to both of these, but like I said in another reply, points aren't always necessary for the moving nation to...
Green Dubliners, purple Jutes? chx -- "The question is", said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things." "The question is," said Humpty...
... Mate, I, for one, (think I) understand what you mean, but you may as well first decide what colour each nation is, then sort the points. Having Green Dubs...
... Do we have the best possible nation/player mix? ... It could be... but then again, would we need so many Dubs? They too have the 'elephantiasis' syndrome....
... as ... points. ... Well of course in my 20 and 32 turn versions the Dubliners are called Ostmen and are blue, so they don't have the overlap problem. I did...
Well, if the Welsh get more for the Irish targets, red will be compensated if we give the Norse more for Caithness... I may change the points for Suff and...
... This is altogether too tempting, and a believe forms much of the plot in "Viking Gold II: Enfilade and Defilade" -- "The question is", said Alice, "whether...
For what it's worth, I'll be in England visiting relatives from about 12 July to near the end of the month, mostly in Cheltenham and some in Walton-on-Thames ....

... Quite possibly not - but that's how it's developed, hence my comment of accepting the nations and fixing the points. In the light of the various...
... Is this an invitation to FTF with the Designer in the Heart of England? Is Stonehenge booked? (I reckon Wayne and Garth will have picked up all the...
The Dubs survive partly because there's lots of purple up there, but also because Brit doesn't adequately reflect the surge of the Saxons. I'm thinking that in...
