Falling Sky: The Gallic Revolt Against Caesar

Description
Falling Sky: The Gallic Revolt Against Caesar takes 1 to 4 players into the military actions and complex politics of Roman-occupied but not-yet-conquered Gaul. Caesar and his hard-hitting legions cannot be everywhere and will not triumph without powerful allies among local tribes. But each Gallic confederation has its own agenda and must keep its eyes not only on the Romans but also on Celtic, Belgic, and Germanic rivals. Players recruit forces, rally allies, husband resources for war, and balance dispersed action with the effectiveness and risk of concentrated battle.

Leveraging GMT's popular COIN Series system to integrate historical events with wide-ranging strategic options across the game board, Falling Sky provides accessible and deep historical gaming of war, politics, and diplomacy. A full solitaire system enables solo players to test their skill against an array of game-run factions, each unique. From Britannia to the Rhenus and down to Provincia, armies are on the move. Who shall finally subdue Gaul?

Notes
The game is set up for the scenario "The Great Revolt". The mod is mostly based on the Vassal module assets. There are no bot charts, you need to buy the game for those. Support the creators and buy the game from GMT games:

I have 6 of the 8... I think colonial Twilight or cuba libre is the easist.
Really though find one you find intesting and watch youtube videos of play throughs and you can pick it up. I started playing Fire in the Lake with all bots so I could learn how the play each other and then lots of youtubes and figured the rest out.

Question to anyone familiar with the COIN series: Is Falling Sky a good entrypoint? I have no problem playing Twilight Struggle but that's the only GMT game I've played. Everyone says to start with Cuba Libre, but I think Falling Sky has a much more interesting theme and I'd prefer to start there if it's not as complex as some of the others like Fire in the Lake.

You just have to do that stuff manually.

Is there an easy way to load the other two scenarios? Also, how does one go about randomizing the deck while also seeding Winter cards in the appropriate places?

Thanks! This is awesome so far.

You're right. The Treveri region was lacking a fort, and there was one extra fort on the available forces display. There should be six in total now, four on the map and two on the display.

Is there an extra roman fort? The component listing in the rules says 6, but there are 7 in the game. My understanding is that the permanent fort in Provincia takes up one of those 6, so there should be only 5 others?

Thanks, it should be fixed now.

I think I see an error int he set up, the Morini region should only have one Belgic Ally. Other than that, great effort!

Note: the expansion hasn't been released yet, so this doesn't include that (yet).
