Rome continues to expand her reach over the world. Now it is Britain's turn to be conquered! As the legions march upon the shores of Britain, can the ancient tribes hold off the tip of the Roman spear?
In 43 AD, the Roman army landed on the south coast of a small island called Britain seeking to add this latest territory to Emperor Claudius' vast empire – an empire that already spanned much of the known world.
The Roman Invasion of Britain starter set contains:
- Softback A5 Hail Caesar rulebook
- Quick start guide
- 80 hard-plastic Celtic Infantry in 28mm scale
- 40 hard-plastic Roman Legionaries in 28mm scale
- Hard-plastic Roman scorpion catapult and crew in 28mm scale
- 1 metal Imperial Roman commander on horse in 28mm scale
- 1 metal Celt chieftain on horse in 28mm scale
- Celtic and Roman waterslide shield decals
- Twelve six-sided dice
- Reference sheet and casualty counters
The Roman forces, spearheaded by the legionaries in their segmented armor and large scutum shields, were highly trained, equipped and disciplined. Backed by the deadly scorpion catapults, how could these barbarians stop them?
Arrayed against them, the fiercely independent British tribes – many daubed in woad war paint and with spiky, limed hair – determined to retain their own rule. Each warrior a skilled, ferocious fighter defending their home and family, they would make these Roman invaders pay in blood.
This Hail Caesar starter set allows you to build your forces – both Roman invader and defiant Britons – as you fight for control of the island in massed battle!
The new Hail Caesar starter set – The Roman Invasion of Britain – is now available to pre-order from Warlord Games, and is due for worldwide release later this month.
