Caesar's war in Gaul, megagame 13 March Netherland

De Bello Gallico. Caesar's war in Gaul


In the spring of 58 BC Caesar intervenes in the migration of the Gallic tribe of the Helvetii into territories of tribes allied to the Roman Republic. With great loss of life the survivors are chased back into the Alps.

This game covers the struggle between the Gallic nobles as they try to take advantage of the developments set in motion by Caesar's arrival. Should they cooperate with the Romans, or aim to establish themselves as the pre-eminent tribe of an independent Gaul? Or should they focus on strengthening their position within the tribe without regard for the greater issues?

The players will form several teams representing the most powerful tribal coalitions in Gaul with players representing the major clans within those tribes. Each will have a following, which will increase with successful raiding of neighbouring tribes and capture of booty. Although one player will lead the tribe, Gallic kingship was based on military prowess and could never be taken for granted.

Meanwhile, Caesar has plans of his own...


The game will take place on 13 March 2010 in the Liefland College in Utrecht, the Netherlands.
