Added some (rather rushed) purple counters for 5 player variants. Might add another nation (helms) plus some cavalry, and it needs some pop increase markers....
Here's a question for experienced players (and maybe not so experienced). By color, what is the most frustrating thing, or the thing you'd want to change,...
... I hardly ever see Romans attacking Caledonians, let alone wiping them out, so I don't think there is a problem that needs fixing. As for frustations in B2:...

I've been working on a Euro game inspired by Britannia. I call it Albion. I've now iterated through 22 versions of the rules and have playtested the game 50...
Your friend does good graphics. Do you know what program(s) he used? As you say, some of the capitals are getting away from "reality", but how many people...
... Yes, our deal was that if I bought him Adobe Illustrator for the Mac, he would do these for me. On his web site, he's written about some of his techniques...
As any frequenter of the Axis and Allies boards will tell I have a low tolerance level for people taking liberties with historical maps; for me the map always...
If you add Hebrides and Orkenys, is the Albion board a Britannia board with differnt place names? ... [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
... board with ... No, one less sea zone (5 vs. 6) and fewer regions (30 vs. 36?). ... I was sincerely looking forward to your feedback. I was shocked when in...
Jeffrey, thanks for the reply. You must of course make your map the way you want, I'm simply coming from the historical/geographical stickler standpoint that...
... Well, my other justification for fuzziness with borders is that the actual borders aren't well documented, and they changed over time. I'm pinning them to...
Just read the Albion rules. There must be one or several Euro games that use this same kind of "spreading amoeba" movement and combat ("area control games"),...
... None were a conscious influence, and I'm not familiar with any that are similar in this way. Earlier versions of Albion had more traditional wargame rules,...
I think Jason is asking me to explain my actions in this alternative brit game. It's a bit like being a French cabinet minister in 1940. The outcome which...

I included 11 more games in statistics, and now Green's median is actually higher than Yellow's - but all are within a few points. Please mail me more of your...
Hi everyone, thanks Pekka, I love stats. I am about to play my first game of Brit in ages so I had a quick look at the latest rules (I am still using the Brit...
... The Gibsons Games version allowed an extra overstack with a leader, but only in normal terrain (non-hiland). The Avalon Hill version had, like the new...
Thanks Torben, That long ago!? The last time I played I was using a pre-release set of Brit 2 rules that I downloaded from this site, which included the two...

A recently submitted brigante has been forbidden to vacate its held areas by the roman. 3 brgs occupy che at the start. 2brgs cross empty cumbria to reach...
Hi all, ... Also if the Brigs are permitted just to pass through empty Cumbria, do the Romans get their visiting points for Cum like they would with the...
Well, you know I'm not the best at rules minutiae for this game, but I see on page 15, third column, point 5, that the restriction is based on "any area they...
Lew, Your reading gibes with my own until you get to the point that the Romans build a fort in an area through which a submitted nation is moving. I agree that...

I agree, the scoring chart says at any time whether Roman or submitted nation. I assume that this means that you also get points in turn 1 for the areas that...
