15mm Hail Ceasar – Germania

[Simon Clarke]

I was thinking of getting this –

Would anybody be interested in playing this as a 15mm campaign. I have a gazillion Germans and Romans already (and I can think of a few more people out there with them too). We could make up some mega big games with this with a low investment in time

GOOD IDEA Maybe the ancient krauts won’t suck as bad as they do in FOG I can do both side natch but prefer the pro to-socialist primitives.

Must admit I’d rather do it in 25mm though…think how awesome it would look.
But if you have the stuff in 15mm already so be it 🙂

[Simon Clarke]

It was just the convenience of having it all already . I have about 600 Germans and I know others have them as well . I think it will look pretty awesome with a thousand figures on the table

Hi Simon
any movement on this recently? You know I’d be up for a good Ancients campaign, and I quite like the Hail Caesar rules.
Presume its the period just after Varus/Arminius (i.e. not the later period of Goths, Huns etc)?
If the idea has longevity I’d get some stuff myself although it sounds like there’s a whole bunch of armies available already.

Hi Jon,

I bought the book, and it was … OK. The games seemed a bit ill thought out. Maybe I’m wrong. I thought we could have a club game with multiple games all featuring the destruction of Varus’s army… see the front page. This might spring board some interest. there are 6 scenarios that we could work through

Hi Simon
Good thing I picked up your response, I was just about to order a copy! If it’s as poorly thought out as you say, then I’m glad I didn’t do so.
Yes, let’s do some scenarios before the one day game…that’ll get everyone familiar with the rule system before the 11th Sept.
I think we have a game diaried for next Thursday? Originally we were going to play Saga but happy to test drive the Hail Caesar rules again, using your Germans. I have Late Republican Romans (i.e. Marian) I can bring but if you have the correct stuff happy to use yours.
Or if you want to stick to Saga please let me know either way.

Hi Jon, lets stick to Saga (as its simple) for this week.

I’ll being the Germania book down if you like

thanks
Simon

I’ve added a copy of the H/C reference sheets, if you’d like to familiarise yourselves with them for Thursday
