Description: This is an unpunched copy of the Pendragon - The Fall of Roman Britain, by GMT. It is Volume 8 in the Counterinsurgency (COIN) series. This is a wonderful game, covering the entire military, economic and political aspects of Britain during the 4th and 5th century AD. The game is like new, only opened to admire the beautiful components inside. Card decks are still sealed. Box is the new type of extra strong 3" deep box. Pendragon transports us into the 4th and 5th centuries AD and to the embattled Isle of Britannia. It covers a century of history from the first large-scale raids of Irish, Pict, and Saxon raiders, to the establishment of successor kingdoms, both Celtic and Germanic. This sumptuous volume adapts the celebrated asymmetrical COIN engine to depict the political, military, religious, and economic struggles of Dark Ages Britain. Pendragon leverages the tremendous flexibility of the COIN system, from dual events to dissimilar approaches and victory conditions, to capture the complexity of the period and let the players explore alternative narratives. Unlike earlier volumes, this is not about counterinsurgency per se, but focuses on the asymmetrical clashes between and among Romano-British authorities and Barbarian powers gnashing over the carcass of the Roman Empire, including:Barbarian Raiders plundering the land and trying to surprise unwary towns and hillforts, then melting into hills or fens.Expansion or decline of the Saxon Shore naval defense system to counter sea-borne raiders.Authentic Late-Roman military doctrine—mighty but hard-to-replace cavalry tracking down raiding parties before they can return their booty home.Accessible, powerful but fickle Foederati: barbarian warbands in Briton employ.Fortified strongholds that must be assaulted, besieged, or rebuilt to gain regional political control.Civil wars, coups, religious shifts, and cultural assimilation.Population movements over the generations, due to good administration, barbarian ravages, or climatic changes.
