Whilst I have found a group of two or three briton generals to be a wonderful way of quickly mincing up Gaul or Roman general cav and other cav on the flanks, they are too fragile and unwieldy to be bodyguards for your glorious leaders. Caught in a town they are incapable of manoevering and are just death traps for the hapless general. Against phalanxes including the basic infantry of neighbours Germania they die on contact anywhere. Being so spread out it's hard to avoid getting tangled up with infantry, especially on huge.

Light chariots are devastating archers, can usually escape from pursuit and can tear fleeing armies to shreds at lightning speed before they can escape. For Britannia against German phalanxes they are majestic out in the open but atrocious if confined by impassable battlefield terrain or trapped in a town.

Loads of fun to play with but not authentic. Creating an empire across Europe with the Britons in this era is a shocking anachronism anyway but I suppose that could equally be said of Dacia, Thrace, Scythia, Spain, Numidia and even the Greeks, but it is fun to recreate a wildly different version of history where someone other than the Romans gets a look in for a change.

For us 'Britunculi' especially the arrogant Romans need to be taught a lesson. The shamed daughters of Boudicca must be avenged! Let's throw some limey heads at them, and chant them into submission!
