Has anyone ever seen the northeastern part of North America implemented in a Britannia-like way? If nobody has then I'll probably take a shot. These are very...
If you are doing it Brit like, with players controlling multiple "nations" within a color scheme, I don't think you need to exclude, and would argue against...
I'm not sure how well the system adapts to North America. Many of the activities in the region were dictated more by global events than regional/local ones,...
I confess the period/region never seemed at all promising to me. Ken's right, the disparity in power between Europeans and Indians makes it very difficult....
... I think this is what victory points are for: to represent the priorities expressed in orders from home. ... Doesn't that happen in Britannia? If the game...
... My original plan was to start early in the sixteenth century and include all of North America. In that case the Dutch are in and the Spanish are big...
... It's true: the Indians basically don't win any wars. European settlement expands relentlessly: Britannia-like activity occurs within the pale and beyond...
I've mentioned how the low-casualty card combat method of Frankia, combined with a scenario with no big invasions, a more or less status quo of forming...
... I think the key to pulling this off is you need to accept that the game is very asymmetric and make that work for you. Die rolling Euro vs Indian should be...
... Perhaps. But I'm thinking rather to do the unfairness through result interpretation. So when a European unit kills an Indian it might mean the tribe was...
Hi Just dropping in extremely quickly to say I've picked up a copy of Italia, and am currently obtaining a copy of Hispania from a guy in Germany. Haven't...

I too am excited about Italia, although I haven't found a group of 3 more to try it with. I am thinking about Cyberboard and Play by Email, which we have done...
I own and have played both games, so for what it is worth here are my opinions. Both games have been designed by Andreas Steding based on the systems laid down...

Hi, Kevin Looks like the key things in Italia/Hispania are: 1) D10 Dice and more mods for combat. 2) Slightly different economic system. 3) Different stacking...

Hi Pekka, hi Jim, ... At this point I must join the discussion. I really like Italia (as well as Chariot Lords) and have written a positiv review for a German...
Pekka I own Hispania and would certainly play a game if we could set one up. It is to long for FTF. I will send you my copy of the game if that will help as ...
