[Daanz-dip] A question

[shane beck]

Fair enough. 18XX isn't for everyone or even a large majority of people. 
How's the new Fantasy Flight Britannia compared to the old Avalon Hill 
version? Any different? In the old version the game largely hinged on how 
well the Romans did and whether they decided to go into wales or not. I love 
Civilization better than Advanced Civilization but hardly anyone plays these 
games. I guess it's a matter of whether you want a game that takes 6-8 hours 
or a whole bunch of Eurogames in that time. It's why I suspect that Twilight 
Imperium 3rd Edition hasn't done as well as it should. Not that I've played 
the game, but would like to.
