Hi. I played another small Hail Caesar game, romans vs. celts again, but teaching it to a few friends who don't normally play miniature wargames. Here are a few pics, but a full report is on my blog.
They had a lot of fun. Explaining the very basics of the rules only took a few minutes, and I could handle the math of bonuses, penalties, and charts on the fly so they could concentrate on giving orders and pushing lead. Still enjoying Hail Caesar quite a lot and looking forwards to games with four full divisions per side once I get enough figures painted. |

Great looking AAR and pics! I'll look forward to seeing your larger battles in future. |

Really nice looking armies! Hopefully they'll play more games. Thanks, John |

Enjoyed reading the narrative and looking at the pictures of the table. I've had mixed success with HC. Perhaps this is a consequence of being a solo wargamer? HC certainly seems to be a more social set of rules. The "free wheeling" movement also takes some getting used to. Anyway. Look forward to reading your next battle report. Chris |

I am just getting into HC. FOG seems to be the Ancients players the game of choice at The Source. FOG seems to this ancient a level of complexity especially after playing DBM for years and years. My DBM armies are all 15mm. A few of F OG players have some of my armies and they have been featured in FOG games at RECON. PS, I live in Burnsville, MN. |
