Has anyone ever counted the number of dice rolls (and number of battles) in a Brit game? I guess I'm going to have to do it. Anyone care to guess what the...
... I have not counted, and I only have wild guesses. But a wild guess would be around 100 battles. Many battles end after one round, so I would guess 1.5...
I'm working on the "one page Yellow strategy" pieces, and thought it would be quite fascinating to see statistical analyses of games relating to average number...
... I was thinking about a different, but allied, area recently - a purely theoretical exercise - how would you quantify 'luck' in a game of Brit? I.e. how...
... There are 37 units on the map at the start? Maybe 135 invaders, and some of those die on a 6 so count them double, and Romans and some Danes disappear, say...
Strategy and Tactics magazine includes a game covering 1066 in Britain; though it is called 1066:The Battle of Hastings, it is not just about that battle...
... Not necessarily, as there are more than two players in the game. A battle might well have positive outcome for both players, e.g., if Arthur battles Aelle...
... Actually, the chance of not killing is 1 in 4 -- each Roman has probability 1/2 of not hitting, so both not hitting is 1/4. Unless you consider several...
... You must also take population increase into account. There are a total of 20 clear areas (that give 2 IPP each) and 17 areas (that give 1 IPP each). So...
I estimated 307 armies total for the game, a while back (the spreadsheet is in files), minus about 12 Danes and Romans withdrawn, minus about 50 left on the...
... Yes, I had a different example in my head when I put that, one of 2 RB cav with Arthur vs 1 def... ... It would certainly be true that the importance of a...
Here's an interesting twist. I'm told that the appendices to the LOTR are not part of the licensing from Tolkien to Saul Zaentz (sp?), so could not be used in...
Here I am fooling with the second oldest of my 21st century games, Dark Ages, thinking about movement, especially in light of my experiment with Britannia...
... If someone programmed a game server, where you could play games online, it could be made to track all sorts of statistics, including number of battles, die...
... But luck _is_ when something beneficial happens to you. If that beneficial thing is less likely, the luck is stronger, but unless it is a sure thing, it...
... Indeed. If I recall correctly, "The Silmarillion" has some of the same material, though I don't recall to what detail. In any case, you _might_ be able...
... So if 1 RB and Arthur eliminate 8 Saxons and Aelle but both leaders are killed - are the Saxons lucky? I don't think so - I think it would depend on how...
... The original context of the above was that you would look at the entirely of the result, i.e., full losses on both sides, VP, etc. and each side would...
Link doesn't work for me Here's the BGG link: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/22407 Here's a pic of the New Brit in action. Notice the nice rack in the ...
I intend to make a video--a series of videos--to help people learn how to play Britannia. It will be in Windows Movie format, and possibly also AVI (though...
Here is a teaching script example I've got from BGG. Take it as a guide for making a storyboard to help you creating the movie. You should know when showing...

... Some suggestions for names (to keep the Latin style): Change "Scandinavia" to "Scania". Change "Hungary" to "Thracia". Change "Sicily" to "Sicilia". Change...
Provence is Latin, this was the first "province" of the Roman Empire outside Italy. Change Asturias to Galicia. "Celtic Lands" is an anomaly, as the north and...
Thanks for the suggestions. I see that I do have a lot of Latin names over there, but I prefer fewer, not more. The Romans may be in the game, but may not...
(RP sent me the script separately) I understand that some people, for example game podcasters, write their entire script out before making the podcast. I am...
