Looking good, from a quick skim. Looks like you've done more by yourself than the FHC yahoogroup managed!

The majority of the content on the HC Fantasy group was written up by my mate Steve, following our games to try to port WM to HC. We saw HC as WMv3, and as we had big WM armies we wanted a newer system to play with, and HC gave lots of advantages over WM.

We struggled to get any real input from the yahoo! community. Most input was requests for pre-packaged army lists.

Ady's changes seem a lot more original, and keep with the core HC concepts and rules, rather than piling on loads of extra stuff. I need to read the magic again, as this seems the most different from what we came up with.

Sorry Fred, meant no disrespect. It's been a while since I was there, but it already seemed a bit tumbleweedy when I first arrived. I can understand the Warmaster connection, and the frustration with the lack of feedback.

I will let you know - but it may be a while, there seem to be far too many new rules at the minute, and far too little playing time. This thing called work keeps getting in the way

No worries - its interesting to see the stuff we did on the yahoo group keep resurfacing. We've not done anything on HC for years, we struggled to get the rest of our group interested.

This is brilliant!

I really enjoy playing Hail Caesar and am looking forward to giving these a go.

Fingers crossed we can get this as an official book through Rick Priestly & WG

Thanks for for your efforts! I plan to spend some time reading and possibly playing. I picked up Hail Caesar in the first place primarily because of the fantasy forum and positive experience with Warmaster, and a mind to play it fantasy. Nice to hear a few thoughts comparing the two fantasy mods. I might do a little comparison myself.

I just ordered HC online because I caught wind of Ady's work. I recently picked up Warmaster (I, myself, prefer Mayhem) but am always interested in rules that have evolved like HC seems to have done.

I will be placing a few more lists on the blog tomorrow, if you fancy having a look and there will be a battle report to follow

Orcs v Dwarf and Feudal Human Kingdoms

ady2650 · « **Reply #25 on:** July 12, 2015, 06:49:57 PM »

Kingdoms of the Shifting Sands added to the site for you

Kealios · « **Reply #26 on:** July 12, 2015, 07:46:37 PM »

Thanks!

I was going to request for Beastmen, but it looks like they're packaged in with Ruinous Powers.

Can I ask - maybe this isnt the place to ask - why do you play Hail Caesar as opposed to Warmaster or Warmaster Ancients?

ady2650 · « **Reply #27 on:** July 14, 2015, 09:40:00 AM »

I used to play both, but I have found Hail Caeser to be the next step , more flavour and depth. As it stands the rule set is my favourite , and with GW destroying my fantasy 'world' I needed a massed fantasy battle game to play , with no good ones around I thought why not mix a little fantasy into a great set of rules.

I think the blend works , but waiting for feedback

Hope this helps and thanks for asking

I am a firm believer in the newest version of rules, because *usually* this indicates a more polished version (glares at GW

). I am also a sucker for the next shiny thing, so the two usually work out quite well!

HC arrives in the mail tomorrow. Looking forward to it, and I've been studying your lists - no promises, as my armies are still being assembled, but soon!

A few years ago me and my mate switch from WM to HC, some of the reasons were:
Endless multi rounds combats in WM - if you have a slight advantage you can grind away an enemy unit
Fiddly combats - stand removal follow ups etc
Supports not very effective in WM
Cavalry too good in WM
Very easy movement in WM (though only partly fixed in HC)

HC felt like a v3 of WM
