3W says:

“[R]ecreates the revolt of the Iceni and other tribes against the Romans in Britain in AD 60. One player commands the rebel British tribes under Boudica, while the other controls the Roman forces of occupation, plus those British tribal elements sympathetic to the Romans ... [T]he rebel (Tribal) player must either defeat the Roman legions in battle or raise sufficient tribes against them to ensure eventual success.

The Roman player seeks to first contain and then crush the rebellion by preventing the activation of fresh rebel forces, and by defeating and demoralizing those that have risen.”

The reviewer says:

“[A] playable game, although the magazine format limited the designer’s options on charts and tables. The nature of combat (bloody) and requirements for leaders to move some of the less-motivated Briton units keeps the number of significant forces in play to a minimum, so that player decisions per turn are not as many as the piece density would appear to make ... Graphics are about average. The map is fair ... Overall, Hell Hath No Fury is an interesting representation of ancient warfare and presents a very different approach than the other game on the same subject, West End Games’ Druid.” James T. Naughton in The Grenadier 26.

Comments:

While putting together my index to Volume I of The Wargamer, I discovered that they printed quite a bit of errata for their games. Case in point: Errata for Hell Hath No Fury appears in The Wargamer 40, 41, and 42. Goofs weren’t limited to the games — this issue (number 38) actually has “39” printed on the cover.

Collector’s Notes:

I just recently became a collector of The Wargamer so I don’t have a lot of insight to offer as to this particular game. While certain issue games seem to bring more attention, this did not seem to be one of them. Keep an eye out for new-old-stock issues which seem to turn up from time to time. Boone lists low/high/average prices of 2/13/6.57 at auction and 5/18/11.39 for sale.
