Anyone tried Hail Caesar using Viking supplement rules?
28mm figs. |

I use Hail Caesar for the Viking age, although I am adding Shield Wall rules instead of HC's close order rule. The rules work very well for this era…. Getting ready to re fight the battle of Edington in a couple of days and will be posting an AAR… |

Thank you. But do the rules of them
Work for small or skirmish scenarios. 25 to 50 figs per side? |

I've used HC for Viking battles as well…
it's fun. though there are only so many ways one wall of men will charge another… though HC is NOT a skirmish system. I think you are thinking about something else. HC is a generic ancients – medieval combat game, and the dark age supplement is really just a bunch of army lists. HC requires around 200 a side honestly… |

Oh oh. Thank you for the Hail Cesar info. I might have screwed up with that one. Glad I have a back up plan. |
