Title: Hail Caesar Battle Report - Amazons and Pharaohs, 7 January 2014
Post by: Froggy the Great on 16 January 2014, 03:58:22 PM
With my inability to leave well enough alone, of course the first batrep I post using this Historicals ruleset is between two mythological armies.  I mean, why wouldn't it be?

Rules:  Hail Caesar, by Warlord Games.
Armies:  
600 pts of Mummies, based on the New Kingdom Egyptian published list. (Reaper Miniatures' Bones)
400ish pts of Amazons, based on the Later Hoplite published list. (Wargames Factory Amazons w/Reaper leaders)

This was a really good game - we seriously had no idea which army was going to break first, and we spent a turn or so with both armies one unit away from routing.  It was the Mummies' final break through the center that sealed the deal.

What a game, what a bunch of figures. Congrats Froggy you've managed again to set up a whole project based on a very imaginative and inspiring idea!

That was all kinds of great. What special rules did you use? If any.

Mummies were straight-up troops, though I'm considering making them slower perhaps.  The Amazons were mostly by the book, except that the arcanists were like Hawkins that lost a die when too far from the goddess.   The heavy arcanists were basically one Roman scorpion deployed as for models in open order.

Should have been:

Mummies were straight-up troops, though I'm considering making them slower perhaps.  The Amazons were mostly by the book, except that the arcanists were like archers that lost a die when too far from the goddess.   The heavy arcanists were basically one Roman scorpion deployed as four models in open order.

This is what happens when I post from my phone.
