No. It is a different game. Even though wooden blocks, cards, and dice are used to play, “Dark Ages: Britannia” is substantially different from Command & Colors. In many ways. To name a few:

- each card can be played in different ways, and there are also “Event cards” that can trigger historical events (e.g., the death of a leader) and can lengthen or shorten a game
- Units have attack, defence, and moral values
- The blocks forming a unit are not eliminated right away when hit in combat, they suffer disorganization first.
- The dice provided with the game are standard dice. There are no symbols on them but only numbers.
- There are two combat modes: Assault and Melee.
