Hail Caesar - Stuart - 15-10-2011 Just picked up the rulebook. May look at going 15mm for this though - got any recommendations on where to look for figures Si (A)? RE: Hail Caesar - Gareth - 15-10-2011 Wtf? With you having this, me getting FoW, it will not be long, before we turn into the Evesham club. RE: Hail Caesar - Simon - 18-10-2011 We'll need to discuss opposing forces. There's lots to look at and get interested in: Assyrians, Egyptians, Persians, Indians, Macedonians, Romans, Thracians, Dacians, Celts, Germanic Tribes etc For 15mm, I like the look of Corvus Belli figures. Essex miniatures have an extensive range. But I'm still undecided as to whether to go for the 28mm warlord stuff. Si RE: Hail Caesar - Stuart - 19-10-2011 Rulebook arrived today, currently drooling over some of the Warlord miniatures pictured within. RE: Hail Caesar - sprogmcjob - 19-10-2011 is there a carthagian army list??? i know carthage was an early force in terms of roman history but i find them really intresting RE: Hail Caesar - Simon - 20-10-2011 One of the great opponents for the Romans, and probably the biggest of the wars they fought. At present there aren't really any army lists for Hail Caesar. They are on the horizon. AFAIK the idea behind the rules was to fight specific historical battles. So this meant researching the numbers of troops used in a particular engagement and scaling it according to the ruleset. Don't forget that in most historical rules, 1 figure can represent hundreds of men. However, they are producing some army lists (there is a rudimentary example in the back of the rules) for those who want to fight less formally. I'm guessing Carthage will be present. There are DBM lists for Carthaginian armies on the internet, that give some idea of the forces. A quick skank round finds some nice 28mm figures here or 15mm ones here RE: Hail Caesar - Stuart - 20-10-2011 (20-10-2011, 12:29 AM)Simon Wrote: A quick skank round finds some nice 28mm figures here Ooo, they have pirates too.
