... That's actually what I was hoping to hear and the main point of all this. I want to play the game the way it's suppose to be played. My understanding was...
Hi all, I have read through the FFG rules and made my own errata for these (deliberately keeping these independent of Steve's). Comments are welcome. Torben ...
... Steady! Oh my diddly! ;-) lol ... There are a number of differences, most are shruggable (and not in my errata, although maybe Torben's - I will...
This is interesting food for thought, Brian. I'm a little surprised because people so often fail to play Euro games correctly in the first place. Ordinarily...
Games Paradise in Sydney OZ has it listed as in stock now. I've ordered it on line and will start complaining if its not here by tue Luke ... From: "Lewis...
Hi all, Does anyone know of a better way to contact Ken Guerin, the creator and admin of the Kenware BBR? I've tried mailing him at two addresses I've found on...
Possible wording for the "Jute problem": In the original versions of the game, and on the board of the new version, the Jutes are listed as playing before the...
Jaakko I have been in contact with Ken over the winter - a busy guy, both with work and family. I will check what address worked, and pass it to you. He said...
... As I always say, 'Let's keep this problem a problem and turn it into a polished turd'. If we can accept messing around with the play-order in one case,...
Well, "Brit 3" might end up being an expansion pack, as it will be bigger than the original, whereas a marketable successor to the game should be shorter and...
Insofar as "contemporary" game players tend to like "the new", it might be good to figure out a few new scenarios for the game, shorter versions most likely....
Lew I will start working on Brit Eire as soon as I get a couple of games under my belt. I have not seen my Brit 2 game yet though. Jim [Non-text portions of...
Well, Torben has once again employed his remarkable eye for rules inconsistency and explication of same to excellent effect. I am inclined to incorporate...
... This was not the case originally - but FFG then reworded the nation turn structure. This change will at least move the Danish removal to before the ...
... Is this strong enough in pointing out that you could retreat to sea in the first half of an MI in the playtest version, regardless of Raiding Turn or not?...
... This is incorrect. It was not prior to Population Increase but after. Rule 4.0 explicitly said that armies may have to be taken from placed invaders for...
... I don't see the point of rule X. Its main effect seems to be to forbid nations that are about to be the targets of a major invasion from consolidating...
... Yes, the point is to prevent nations from acting on "hindsight", in effect. Or maybe I should say "foresight". The two worst (from an historical...
I'm glad you're checking these out, Steve. Seems to me I saw somewhere else a remark from a player that the rules say invaders cannot retreat to sea on the...
Hola a todos: Se está organizando una partida de Britannia en castellano, tan solo queda una plaza libre, el primero que llegue la ocupa. Se utilizará para...
Yes, while the rules work as they are, without retreat allowed in the first half of an MI, they do differ from the test rules - we did spend quite a bit of...

... When I wrote Mediterranea, I tried to arrange that each country scored VPs just before the invasion that trashed them. That meant VP scoring every turn,...
... Yeah, if they score points they are more likely to spread out, or are at least faced with a choice to score, or to concentrate for defence, or some balance...
I'm here. I am going to derive a separate BBR-II based on the current BBR. Unfortunately, various work and health issues are keeping me from working on this. ...
