Britannia - Round IV: Angle Turn

THE final new people to enter this round are Reg's Angles, who send three armies via the Frisian Sea.

The Angles' card shows they gain two victory points for eliminating a Roman army, and 6VP for destroying a Roman fort

The Angles' take a leaf out of the Jute book by landing all three armies in Lindsey, which is a difficult-terrain area, defended by a Roman fort.

The Angles need 6+; the fort needs 5+. The dice land 5,1,1 v 2 - indecisive. The next round of fighting sees 4,2,1 v 1. But then comes 5,2,1 v 5, meaning an Angle army is eliminated.

At this point Reg retreats the surviving armies back to the Frisian Sea.

Victory points at the end of the fourth round: Me (yellow) 64, Reg (blue) 22, Andy (green) 12, Richard (red) 10.
