Hi all,
I\'ve been a bit quiet lately and not posted any Dux Britanniarum game reports. The reason is that we have been up to our eyeballs getting to rules ready for publication. Well, I am now very happy to announce that the rules will be published on the 30th of July.
We are just sorting out details of pricing and so on, the main rule book in hard copy which contains the whole campaign system and the tabletop rules will be around 86 pages with a really nice seperate A3 map of Britain in around 450, the starting point of the rules. That will retail for just £20. We are also producing a really nice 64 card deck which incorporates both the decks you\'ll need to play the game, the Game Deck and the Fate Deck, and we\'ll be doing the rules in interactive tablet format as well as plain PDF. I need to get all the pricing sorted out there but you can rest assured we\'ll be doing some great value bundles and some even better deals for advanced orders. More on that soon.
In the meantime, here\'s a picture of the cover to whet your appetite.
[font=\'times new roman,times,serif]We are currently taking advanced orders for these rules which will be published on the 30th of July. Please note, ordering this product will get you the rule set ONLY and NOT the cards which accompany it. If you want the rules and cards then you should look for the Dux Britanniarum Bundle which is also available for advanced order. The PDF and tablet version of the rules will be released on the 30th of July so you will be able to download that immediately upon purchase. [/font]
[font=\'times new roman,times,serif]Dux Britanniarum is a set of rules for wargaming and campaigning in the Age of Arthur. Covering the period 450AD to 600AD the rule book combine all you need to fight tabletop games and to run a virtually paper-free campaign.[/font]
[font=\'times new roman,times,serif][font=\'times new roman,times,serif]The rules are designed to be played with relatively small forces. A Saxon starter Army is just 38 figures, a British starter army is only 44 figures, both of which can be purchased from our web site in 28mm although the rules play just as well with larger or smaller figures. Forces are grouped into six figures for most warriors and four figures for skirmish and missile troops or cavalry. The tabletop rules are D6 based and simple to use, with the single page playsheet on the rear cover of the rules covering 99% of situations. Activation is determined by a speedy card driven system where all units get to act in any single turn.[/font]
Included with the rules is an A3 pull out map of Britian in around 450AD which provides the background setting to the Dux Britanniarum campaign. Your characters start their campaign as a Saxon Lord or a Romano-British Tribune and will attempt to gain fortune and reputation on the battlefield as you fight to defend or conquer a Romano-British kingdom. Included with the rules are four detailed maps which together cover moderd Britain, Wales and lowland Scotland along with an historical background to each kingdom.
[font=\'times new roman,times,serif]A character generation system will add colour to your campaign as your Nobles assume their own personalities. The terrain and scenario generator allows games to be set up quickly and to result in an almost infinite variety of games to keep you challenged and enjoying the action. The tabletop rules provide for a fast play system with a fun and exciting narrative as your Nobles lead their men into battle. The unique three phase battle system and force morale mechanism allows you to fight your battles with a minimum of preparation and tie those results into the campaign system for a really exciting and fun gaming experience.
