Ok guys, just to say i am designing the above in partnership with Simon and James, Ryan bless him (he may not know it yet) has also volunteered to join in, as the campaign progresses we will need more volunteers to join in, I am also hoping Warren, Julie and Grahame will participate as they are joining in with the game at Kelmarsh .
I intend to post here the progress and story of the campaign - it is a basis to prepare for Kelmarsh, have fun ewith HC, develop the playing of HC at the club and just have a great campaign.
The campaign will be based upon Britannia boardgame with flexible payers, being both Roman and Celt, for example each player will be allocated a tribe to manage strategically and be the lead gamer for the resultant battles. Most battles will be on a 6 x 4 and on a 1 on 1 basis, but occasional large games will be multi player as we gain experiance, knowledge and confidence in the games system.
To move the campaign along I am hoping to have multiple games in play on some games nights.
If I can I will post some piccies o the games played in preparation so far. The armies are balanced but I believe may slightly favour the Romans as players gain experience. Thats a good reason to rotate players.
This is not a league table campaign but a map movement game that hopefully will continue into the age of arthur and the saxon, viking and lastly norman incursions into Britain. Never one to get get carried away haha.
So Romans will start with 1,500 HC points
Belgae 1,000
Welsh 900
Brigantes 900,
Picts 600, and
300 Caledonians.
All but the Belgae can submitt to the Romans on certain triggers
All Celtic tribes can grow assuming thay have not been conquered !!
Submitted armies can be used as allies by the Romans against other tribes.
All army options will be pre determined, but players can build forces up from their tribes lists
Most games will be at 350 points (for now)
The above is subject to amendment as we learn from the campaign.
Ok enough for now
