Beckett, I see that you're running a Pendragon campaign. In my opinion, another good reason to check out Britannia is that it's ideal for generating off-stage background for Pendragon.
I have the AH edition of Britannia; back in the day when I was running my Boy King campaign I generated the major troop movements of Arthur's initial campaigns by moving counters around on the Britannia board. When the players were present, we fought out the battles using the Pendragon battle campaign. When the players weren't around, I secretly used the very basic combat system in Britannia to get the job done quickly.
It worked very well. My players never realised that the events around them were being resolved using a boardgame, and it saved me a lot of effort.
Cheers
