In this game of Hail Caesar we see armies of approximately 520 points each do battle. A Pyrrhic army fights a Republican Roman Army. I use the opportunity to try out some house rules. These are written here • 1. Triplex Acies! • Triari, Hastati and Principes will be fielded in STANDARD size unit. • Hastati and Principes can ‘exchange’ positions (SWAP PLACES) in the battle line if within 6 inches of each other once per game. Similar to ‘Feigned Flight’ the unit in contact (for example Hastati) can swap its position with a unit of Principes IF from the same division AND WITHIN 6 inches to the rear IF the Division commander passes a command roll. If successful the units swap places AND the unit in contact recovers 1 stamina. ALL units in the division must carry out the exchange at the same time. • 2. Rear Support ‘Like for like’. / ‘Who’s that in my rear’? • Pike can only be supported from the rear by other pike. • Hoplites can only get rear support from other Hoplites of the same or lesser quality or Skirmishers with javelin or bow from their division • Triari, Hastati and Principe can only get rear support from velites from their division. • Warband can only get rear support from other Warband of the same quality or lesser quality and from their own division (tribe) • 3. “Whoa Nelly” • No REAR Support from mounted troops AT ALL. Even mounted supporting mounted. • 4. Deep Pike. • Pike can be fielded as LARGE units but the increase is in DEPTH not WIDTH. Large pike blocks cost 39 points, (+7 points) with stats increased as appropriate: • Clash 9, Sustain 9 Short range 3/0 Long range 0 Save 4+ Stamina 8 • Here’s a link to my video discussing the Roman Manipular formation: • Republican Roman Manipular Formation ... • Comments welcomed
