HAIL CAESAR: Battles with Model Soldiers in the Ancient Era - 2nd Edition

2-195030

Updated version of Hail Caesar rule set includes amended rules, new rules for sieges, and the extension of the timeline to include such conflicts as the Hundred Years War and the War of the Roses.

Ancients rule set is designed with 28mm models in mind - although the game is equally playable with 20, 15, 10, and 6mm models and all sizes in-between. The game adapts easily to different styles and sizes of bases. The overall width of units needs to be specified more exactly. This is to ensure that combats and supports work out correctly over the extended combats that are common in ancient battles.

The rules recommend models based into convenient multiples to facilitate changing formations and for ease of handling. Also recommend that foot skirmishers, horse archers, and light cavalry are based individually as the rules allow these units to fight in a dispersed formation with the models spread out. The only absolute constraint is that standard sized units occupy roughly the same frontage when deployed in their usual fighting formations.
