In a recent 3 player game I scraped home with a win, with player A (the rom/sax axis). It occurred to me during turn 16 that I didn't have a single army of any...
... Not often, but it happens. In webc3semib, Red won even though he had very few armies left, so while this isn't exactly your situation it is close. ...
I am sorry to have disappeared for some time. Call it "designer's disease". Sometimes a game suddenly comes up that preoccupies you, and that's what happened...
... years. The game is quite an undertaking but I really need to get a move on with it. I have an alternative title (suggested by a friend) but this thread has...
Hi Lew, I wonder what you mean by this? I don't see that historical accuracy is scale dependant. Britannia will not produce Celtic artwork or the like, but at...
1)What exactly is it that pict raiders do differently to other raiders? Obviusly they can't start at sea. 2) Can other raiding nations do as the picts do? ( ie...
... The main difference is that for all other nations, raiders can become settlers (by not returning to sea), but once an army has settled in Britain it can...
I guess I don't understand how this can still be a controversy. Doesn't Lew Pulispher frequent this site? couldn't someone ask him what the intent of the rule...
Lew has neither played nor thought about the rules for a long time, nor has he shown an inclination to give rulings. The point is that the rule as written is...
... Indeed not. The current WEBC rules say that the Picts at the start of their movement designate some armies as raiders. These move normally as other Pict...
... That is a good question. AFAICS, it isn't mentioned anywhere in the original rules. The AH errata says 10.4: Add "The Romans build more than 25 forts." ...
It happened in a three player game recently with Romans in caithness and all nations submitted or wiped out with the exception of the irish and caledonians in...
... It's more of a puzzle than that. There are two other open questions that this incomplete "erratum" might have been intended to answer. 1. Burned forts...
... The original rules don't say that you should flip forts over to mark destroyed forts, so it is doubtful that the intended meaning is that the Romans can...
... This raises the question of what constitutes and 'authoritative answer source'? My answer would be that there never really was/is a single 'authoritative...
... This seems quite reasonable and simpler than the alternatives; I'll support it. ... My order of search for a "rules authority" in any game is (1) the world...
I have had experiences where the author is a little freeform rather than docctrinaire and instead of ruling on the way to interpret the rule as written , comes...
Hi. Not so serious, but I have some questions about VP sheet. It's painted gray where that nation has no possibility to score any VP in that turn. (I'm saying...

... You are right on both accounts. Other nations also have turns where they can't score but the fields aren't greyed out. I usually don't use these sheets,...
Can/should a Roman army build a fort upon retreating? Such a situation occurred in turn 5 where a lone roman army opted to retreat in Scotland, to preserve the...
... I spotted a few similar errors some time ago, and have posted my own VP sheets on the web, not only for Britannia but also Maharaja, Hispania, and Rus'....
... I would say yes. But I've never seen it happen in practice. The fact that Roman forts exist pretty much guarantees that no land area will ever be left...
Different players have different Roman styles. I like to be different every time. A standard arrival move gets a little stale after a while. A favourite ...
All, Personally I think that Torben has done an excellent job 'translating' the rules into WEBC format. The GG and AH sets are now essentially redundant. ...
