Someone on BGG suggested a variation of Brit in which the Romans do not conquer Britain. (Recall Julius Caesar raided Britain but did not stay.) The Belgae...

The concept sounds interesting, but I would suggest that it would work better as a three player game with no Roman raids, and the remaining yellow forces being...
Picts and Angles on the same side is problematic, historically, because they were deadly enemies. Brigs and Angles together doesn't bother me historically....
Three players, that's worth trying. The A-S-J raided for a very long time before there was ever any likelihood that the Romans would leave. The impetus was...
I haven't thought about changing the max pops, but I'd try it first without changes to see what happened. I don't recall that the "Belgae" were particularly...
... Indeed. The Brigantes will also reach max pop in R1 if they are not attacked before moving. A possible solution would be to add a new nation in England,...
B2 submission rules have a few annoyances, which cause following happen in quite many games (more than half): * Brigantes hit Roman invasion with a major...
Is there any hope that this non-Roman-invasion scenario you have floated could be included in the reprint? ... From: Lewis Pulsipher <pulsiphl_2000@...> ...
the pict eg won't work though will it, as the romans in T3 can occupy the vacant scot areas before the picts can reoccupy them. Still I agree with you that...

No, the reprint involved minimal changes. And we are nowhere yet with these non-Roman scenarios, in any case. If there is ever an expansion--FFG has told me...
Last night I "winged" a three player version of the no-Romans alternate history scenarios (rounds 1 and 2 combined, rounds 3 and 4 combined). "Winged"--I...
Why not just give the Scots to green, Norse to Blue, and Dubliners to Red? That would put green in play up north where they currently are not, put blue in play...
I'm confused, Matthew. This suggestion doesn't seem to jive with either my four player or three player. Maybe you can list the entire forces for each player....
Assume the Romans conquer Ireland. Agricola (who nearly conquered Scotland, but then he and a legion were recalled) thought it would take only one legion. I...
I think if you're going down this route you really have to include Ireland in full, complete with central forest/swamp areas. Perhaps a strait from Galloway to...
