The last couple months have been fairly somnolent around here. Over 6,000 copies of the new edition of the game have been sold; at present rates it will sell...
Glad someone posted - I was waiting for 'No new activity' under Eurobrit in my groups - and that just wouldn't do. 1 or 2 things have been happening, possibly...
I don't know about things being quiet – I've been busy as hell with ideas, just like old times. Anyone reading all my stuff this week and noting the hour...
Philllip Thomas posted this suggestion on Boardgamegeek. Any comments? Anyway here is a 5-player scenario for turns VI-XVI, with no extra turns or extra...
If green are weak, give Welsh a leader (each round, if necessary): Caratacus, Cadwallon, Rhodri Mawr, Gruffud ap Llewelyn (I must have butchered some spelling...
Comments interspersed, full update at the end... ... I think it is best to keep to the countermix that is in the game - that way you already have all the kit...
Given that we don't get the Saxon reinforcements, and it might be a good idea to 'Boudicca' Svein Estrithsson - you could 'Boudicca' Harold, and give him an...
So given the idea of only using the pieces provided... why not use Svein's piece and call him Cadwallon (or whomever)? Or is that not "kosher"? *I* think it's...
Indeed yes, we can do whatever we like with pieces, rules, the map, whatever we like - but then I don't think adding a leader to a variant that uses Brit II...
Also Brevissima is a variant (if a radical one), rather than a completely new game. Brevissima can be balanced with minimal changes, and I would think that ...
So is there an emoticon that means "you're really weird"? I need one to show to the Gimp. Reduce the game from 16 turns to 4 and change the movement/combat ...
HAHA - I am the Gimp after all - there is a reason for that name! Remind me to sell you a car - yes, the front left wing is a different colour and someone's...
Also I'm not worrying about what the piece says - I just think that introducing a piece that is not in the original game is more of sticky-out thing than not...
At risk of going on... my non-FFG copy of Britannia doesn't have an Edgar piece. It never had an Edgar piece. You didn't get an Edgar piece. There was a...
... I like that. In fact, it sounds like a good idea generally. Maybe every major invasion should be considered for split. It might give more of a feel of "The...
... If any game (not just talking about Brevissima here) had specific nations inside the split MIs they could be: Romans - Belgae Scots - Picts Saxons - RBs ...
... Unless game length and complexity are not issues (B3, I'd suppose), trying to do splits in all the invasions creates problems. In B3 it's the Welsh and...
Draft of errata so far--a few topics not covered yet, and I'm not sure what order of presentation I'll use, either. But I thought I'd better let the "punters"...
Comments interspersed... ... That's a big thing - will have to think hard about any areas missed. For me, really need to read all the rules and errata again,...
Anyone here played the Ragnar Brothers game Viking Fury? I mention it because a new unpdated version is on the way with a new board and some nice minis from...

How much difference in the game do you think would be made by the addition of Welsh leader Cadwallon in Round 8? I'd like to have him be there to help a weak...
I don't think Green is a weak colour at the moment. I personally think that Red is overall weaker than Green and more in need of a pick-me-up. In a current...
... I don't see Green as weak, but they are very much dependent on how well the Welsh come out of the Roman occupation. A weak Welsh at this time is likley to...
... Six areas is too much, this would pretty much guarantee max pop for the Welsh when the Romans leave. Five is a good number, I think, Ten Welsh in R6 is...
... In Brit II I do think that Green is a little weak. I'm not sure I can put my finger on it exactly. They can win, and win well, it's just that there is a...
