I guess that in both B2 and B1, if there are 4 brigantes in the pennines, then they might not feel like submitting.. ... [Non-text portions of this message...
That's always a danger with submitting natives - it's their choice. I've seen nations not submit out of spite, or maybe out of a feeling they weren't being...

... No, but as pointed out earlier in this discussion, it is usually easy for the attacker to choose areas that doesn't have a leader, so a leader has only...
doesn't it depend on the targets of the nation - in Brit 2 having a norse leader is great, cos the norse need to take highland areas and get a foothold: having...
The instance I have have in mind is the Orkney and Hebrides initial attacks (they are separate nations in B3): they would have the choice of 4 armies, or of 3...
I'm corresponding with a Dutch player new to Brit who is working on a 3 player Heptarchy scenario with a much smaller time scale, about 6 turns for one or two...

Hi, Roman movement end with strait crossing. However, fairly typical situation is to have Romans submit Picts, and then attack Caledonians in Hebrides (moving...
... Good points. By the current rules, I would say that the Romans could neither retreat nor move out (unless the Picts give them room). This doesn't really...
Yes, kamikaze Also if the Romans are sticking around that might benefit from those weaker late Roman troops explored by Lew - given that Roman troops are...
Mongols had become very civilized by that time (circa 50 years after Ghengis's death?). They wanted to use technology. Huns not in that league. The Romans...
I think there's potential for a Brit scenario that covers only the years following Roman withdrawal until the triumph of the Anglo-Saxons. Say 410 to 600/660,...

While deciding whether to go with FFG, I asked how often reprints occur, and was told seldom. I suppose if it goes out of print by January they might think...
In many cases sales of the game are a result of people hearing that it is an interesting variation and "cleaning up" of the old one. I hope that everyone who...
