(I posted this yesterday to several online forums, let's see what the Brit aficionados have to say.) The subject expresses my basic question, but some...
On the other side of the coin, would board game sales increase if excellent (that is, something a good deal better than cyberboard) online play was available,...
... In my experience, people who play boardgames online or by email often own the games they play (typically, at least one in every group that plays does)....
I play many online wargames, and my experience is that owning the phyiscal copy of the game is very often essential. To just give you a Britannia related...
Do you only own 1 (one) hard copy of the game? I bought 2 copies of the AH brit1 version for the following reasons: 1) first time I played it I had to have it....
During round 11 the Danes score 2 for any area occoupied at the start of raider wihtdrawal phase. If that happens to include to York, does that mean they...
... I bought a copy of the GG version in 1987. The components (with the exception of the box) are more sturdy than the AH game, so it still survives with all...
... The Danes can score for the same areas in both R11 and R12, in the same way that the Romans can score once for an area in R1-3 and then once more in R5 and...
... Did it have the wrong plastic insert? ____________________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!7 Mail has just got even...
Hi Torben, I am not sure I understand. The Romans score for *occupying* in R1-R3 (and only once), and then for *holding* at R5. As the rulesbook states on page...
... I wasn't really using the words in the strict FFG way, I'm sorry if that caused confusion. The Dane R11 scoring is a special case somewhat between...
I own two copies of the game. One FFG and one german (Welt der Spiele). I have know Britannia since the early 1990's but only played it on very few occasions,...
This might amuse some of you. I left a copy of the original Brit (which is posted in files here, I think) with Gibsons games in 1983 or 1984. Avalon Hill had...
... That might be true. I know that I wouldn't have undertaken a revision if not for the online community, so the opportunity for FFG would never have come...
Gentlemen I for one, am quite positive online play helps sales. Unless I have a particular interest in a game I will not buy it unless I am sure I can play...
Just back from Origins. Italia was nominated for an Origins award (historical wargame, more or less); I don't know who won, I'd guess Command and Colors...
Hi Jim, ... I can really recommend this game. ... is a good ... If you like this kind of game you should try "Here I Stand" by Ed Beach. For this one a...
Ocki If you or anyone else can work out a cyberboard for Italia, We would not have a problem getting players. I have Here I stand and like it. I could not get...

I have word that the economics are not there for FFG to do a Britannia expansion. I don't know whether they'd allow someone else to do so--my gut feeling is...
Because the owner is Danish-American (and lived in Denmark for a time when a child), I intend to offer a Viking-age-only Euroized Brit once I get it together...
This may be a bit off-topic, but might be of interest to some members. I'm aware that heraldry as such was devised after our period, but nevertheless the...
