Looks like great fun- impressive collection of toy soldiers (I posted the same elsewhere... TMP maybe?).

A splendid looking setup.  I hope to try Hail Caesar soon for my Hittites and Egyptians.

Thanks Codsticker, yes was TMP.

Shadojack we like Hail Ceasar, we feel they give a feel for the period and are both quick play and fun so you are pretty much guaranteed a result. Our biggest issue with them is that we also play Black Powder now and again, the mechanics are simiular enough for us to get mixed up on occasion. Other than that through no complaints, give them a go.

Not tried chariots with them mind.....

Really impressed by the size of the table and number of figures: Hail Caesar was meant to be played with 3-4 a side on this sort of scale.
No battle plan ever survives first contact with the dice.

Thanks Games Poet, I can only claim responsibility for about a third of them.
